How do you think Baruto's sumo in this touranment?
The starting is still high position but his stepping forward is very quick.
This is his good motin inthis tournament.

Concerning your question my view of Barutos sumo is that he is not on the top of his game. To high at the start as always, and he seems not fully focused. But at the same time he moves forward well and in for instance the match with Kisenosato he very skillfully saw his opportunity and took it decisively. So maybe he is learning and improving when it comes to the ability to see and immediately act upon weaknesses in the opponents position. And this ability to see and immediatly react with the correct technique is what is needed if he ever is to become a yokozuna. Strength is not enough.
