Kotomitsuki - my hero today! He destroyed Asashoryu. The smart gladiator Kotooshu won his kachikoshi - congratulations.

After all that WBC news, it's refreshing to get back to Sumo. By the way, what does "come a cropper" mean?

With this tournament heading into the "final furlong," I guess the writer took seriously the idea that sumo beya translates to sumo stable.

Anyway, here's hoping the foreigners continue to buck the Japanese over the straw bales and embarrass them at Japan's national pastime.

asashoryu perfoms better when he did not train, hope that Hakuho loses one so asashoryu gets another chance on day 15
