Very sparse coverage for today, and Day 10 …
Day 9
I did manage to catch the NHK recap of the day’s notable wins, which includes the two European stars of this hon-basho… Kotooshu (EO) and Baruto (ES) who both started at 7-1 … but Baruto got the upper hand first, and used his mass to first unbalance the Bulgarian, and then push him out with a yoritaoshi win.
Baruto moved to (8-1) and Kotooshu fell to (7-2).
Asashoryu’s (WY/8-1) kirikaeshi victory against Kisenosato (WM3/5-4) was nothing short of blisteringly fast, and Hakuho (EY/8-1) far outstripped Kakizoe (EM4/4-5), where both yokozuna further cement their places at the zenith of this basho.
Kaio (WO/5-4) eked out his 812th career win from a rather mediocre Hokutoriki (EM3/2-7)… and he seems to have struggled to do so. He will need three more wins to “break even” with a kachi-koshi (8-7). I honestly think that he is also heading down the same path that made Chiyotaikai finally tender his inai; I just hope that he doesn’t let himself fall back to sekiwake or maegashira status first.
Day 10
I’ll have to catch the recap tonight to comment in any greater depth - but it appears that Baruto and Kotooshu have both lost bouts, falling to 8-2 and 7-3 respectively, and removing them further from the possibility of a yusho.
The two yokozuna remain impressive at 9-1.

These characteristics are necessary for the escapement wheel and integrally molded escapement fork so that it can be allocated to the highest efficiency momentum required for operation, and without lubricating oil.
