Haru-Basho(2009 Mar.) Final Result

It is easy to expect the ranking next tournament.
Sekiwake Kisenosato marked Makekoshiso,so go down to Maegashira.
Also Komusubi Kyokutenho lost much,so go down to Maegashira.

Komusubi Goeido marked 9 wins,so go up to Sekiwake(second time)!

Maegashira#1 Kakuryu will go up to Komusubi(first time).

Maegashira#2Tochiozan will go up to Komusubi(first time).

Our Baruto keep Sekiwake position in the next tournament,of course.

As I said before, Baruto needs over 33 wins within 3 tournament to promote to Ozeki.

Onlymarking 8 wins with keeping in sekiwake rank,it is not enough to promote to Ozeki.

Baruto! You still have chance to go up!

Please keep on challenging!

Day15 vs Kotomitsuki (Haru-Basho 2009 March)

Baruto has ability to fight against upper rankers evenly.
You can see his bouts against Yokzuna Hakuho,Asashoryu and understand what I meant.
But Baruto this tournament could not express his fighting well.
That's why he has not got 8 wins yet.

Today's opponent Kotomitsuki .Kotomitsuki 4 wins Baruto only 1 win ,this is past result.
Baruto's last day opponent is a big wall.

Kotomitsuki is a Kadoban Ozeki (= last touranment he lost 8 over ,if he lost 8 over again in this tournament,he lost his Ozeki position) and he has already got 8 over wins.
It means this bout is 7 winsBaruto vs 8 wins Kotomistuki.

I thought this is the point of this bout.


All Baruto fans are waiting for this day Baruto gets Kachikoshi(=8wins over).
I can hear loud voice of all you fans now.
This bout had a really surprized ending.

I think junction to win or loose was spirit which one was eager to win.

Baruto! You are great !
Every fan of you are cheering everyday after you marked 7 losses.
We are now excited and feel so good!
