Rikishi Talk - Day 9, Hatsu 2013

[Kyokuhagyo 528]

Aoiyama, grabbing Fujiazuma's mage and losing by hansoku, with a feeling of despair: "I don't think I touched it. When the loss was announced, I had no choice but laugh."
碧山　富士東のまげをつかんで反則負け。「触ってないと思う。負けと言われ、笑うしかなかった」とやけ気味。

Toyohibiki, stopping his losing streak at 8, first win of the year: "I was thinking whether I couldn't win for my whole lifetime. It took long. Happy new year."
豊響　連敗を８で止め、新年初白星。「一生勝てないかと思った。長かった。明けましておめでとうございます」

Baruto, losing clearly to Hakuhou, with a bitter face: "The yokozuna's condition is beyond good. Even though the two days (until yesterday) I was doing good sumou."
把瑠都　白鵬に完敗。「横綱の調子が良過ぎる。せっかく（前日までの）２日、いい相撲を取ったのに」と渋い顔。

Goueidou, fourth loss, still looking onwards: "There are still 6 days. From now on..."
豪栄道　４敗目。「まだ６日ある。これから」となお前向き。

「横綱は元気だな。胸で当たって、突き放したかった。しょっぱいな、自分」とがっくり。大関復帰条件の１０勝まで、残り６日で５勝がノルマ。「迷わないようにいきたい」と話した。

Baruto crestfallen: "Man, the Yokuzuna is full of energy. I hit him with my chest and wanted to thrust him away. It stings, personally." Of the 10 wins needed to return to Ozeki, the quota is 5 wins out of the remaining 6 days. "I want to continue without wavering," he commented..
