Day 5:

Ouhou, losing to Juryo Kagayaki: "I feel my final push isn't good enough.
I've lost two straight but I think I've been doing good sumo. Win or lose,
I like to obsess with the content.."

Tsurugishou, getting his first win of the basho, beating Aoiyama: "It
wasn't very good sumo, but a win does have meaning so that's good. I want
to change the image in my mind from a minus to a plus.."

Tochinoshin, beating Koeoecho-echo - echo by tsuridashi: "I can't seem to
be able to move forward..It's a day at a time. I will be motivated and will
gambarize. That is all I can do.."

Kaisei, beating Kotonowaka: "He got a morozashi doble-inside grip and that
was dangerous but I somehow managed to change grips and that was good. It's
ben a while since i was 3-2 in the first part of the basho so I'd like to
continue in this fashion.."

Yutakayama, losing to Ichiyamamoto : "I didn't follow through after
initially getting the mawashi. I should have been decisive and gone forward
without thinking when I could have won. What a waste.."

 Wakamotoharu, losing to Chiyomaru at the edge: " I think I had a good
initial charge. I was slapped down by a skilled opponent but I think the
content was good.."

Sadanoumi, beating Terutsuyoshi: "I'm not in bad shape, so I'm leaving it
up to my body to react well. If I could do sumo that I am satisfied with
even once, it would be great.."

Chiyotairyuu, first win on day five: "Finally a win and I am relieved.
There is a difference between zero and one.. The content was not good but
it's great to win.."

Ishiura, beating Myougiryuu: "I tried not to be late at the tachiai (so you
did a henka??). I was all over the place and don't remember much of the
bout but my body is moving well. I want to continue the basho while
properly caring for myself."

Shimanoumi, beating Chiyonokuni: "I planned on attacking from under against
an opponent who comes out slapping. My body moved as planned. Today is
today and needs to be forgotten, and I intend to concentrate again
from tomorrow.."

Houshouryuu, beating Tobizaru: "I was calm and able to watch my opponent
well. My body is moving well  although there are bad parts and good
parts..'"

Takarafuji, handing Ounoshou his first loss: "I was able to show my own
good points today. 800th dohyo appearance? Every time I reach a milestone I
usually lose. I think this year will be good to me."

Ounoshou, losing today for the first time: "It's my bad that I couldn't
overcome him. Today is today, I intend to concentrate from tomorrow (Hey,
Shimanoumi just said that..)."

Abi, stays unbeaten by beating Hokutofuji who beat him last basho: "This
morning my Oyakata told me to be careful of Hokutofuji's first step. In any
case, I kept my distance from him, not too far, and took care not to lean
too far out. He does great otsuke (clamps his arms down to avoid getting
his belt grabbed, but in this case, getting shoved from under his arms) so
I went about it taking care not to fall for the otsuke."

Hokutofuji: "i wanted to get closer to him but I couldn't measure my
opponent's distance correctly. He has a big wingspan.. I became too
defensive.."

Daieishou, bearing Okinoumi: " My tachiai was not that good. I was able to
attack well. It was good that I was able to stretch my arms."

Ura, losing to Meisei: "I just wanted to do some sumo. I don't feel it's
time yet to look back and see how I did so far.. Only when it's all over. I
will gambarize to not get injured!"

Mitakeumi, beating Kiribayama: "Although he came at me with both hands, I'm
ready for anything thrown at me. I could only do my own brand of sumo. My
aim is for double-digit wins so I know what i have to do.."

Tamawashi, beating Shoudai: "I was able to extend my arms at the end so
that was good. I felt that every time I face him he manages to get my belt
and that's not good, but I was still able to do my own sumo and that was
good. 1100 straight bouts? All I'm conscious of is doing my own sumo, oshi-
zumo."

Shoudai: "I started off too defensively. I let him extend his arms and that
was bad. The content was bad. I have been shoved back at the tachiai and am
aware of that. As things are, my motivation is very low.."

Terunofuji, throwing Ichinojou down, down to the ground, Hey Joe: " I think
it was good, but we still have ten days to go. I want to continue to be
focused and gambarize!"
