 Ozeki Oonosato was injected  with the "soul of a Yokozuna." He has begun
full training for his debut as an Ozeki in Kyushu and had twelve bouts - 9
wins and 3 losses against Juryo rikishi the likes of Shirokuma (seems to be
over his injury?) after which he was "treated" to some love by his Oyakata,
ex-Yokozuna Kisenosato, who still has it in him it seems, for seven full
minutes.  By the time the Oyakata was done with him, he was rolling in the
ring covered in sand totally exhausted. He is now aiming for a higher rank
and is preparing for that. He felt his Oyakata's passion firsthand. It's
rare for an Ozeki to be on the receiving end of some tough love. but as he
made his Makuuchi debut in the summer tournament last year and it is only
his 10th Makuuchi tournament, the Oyakata took it upon himself to dish out
some tough training, personally showing his skills and teaching
Oonosato the power of a Yokozuna with a "special lesson" lasting about 7
minutes. "I'm grateful that my Oyakata let me borrow his chest as it helped
me get my body back in shape. There's only a limited amount of time left
(until the first day). I want to start getting myself in shape for the
tournament today." On the 17th, Oonosato withdrew from the autumn jungyo
due to ill health caused by an "adenovirus infection," and is well aware of
his lack of training. "It's been a while since I last did sumo," said
Oonosato.. Starting next week, he will take part in the Nishonoseki Ichimon
rengo keiko, with the intention of making up for the time lost so far. "I
don't want to show bad form.  There are areas where I'm lacking in
training, so I hope I can find  good things to work on," he said
optimistically.
