Babaryutaikai 1 Posted October 22, 2005 Asashoryu, after being in Mongolia for a few days, was happy to be able to return home today to spend time with Little Dorj, before taking off again (also today) for Kyushu ---to fulfill his yokozuna-ish obligations and begin his intensive training for the last basho of the year.

Kintamayama 45,116 Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Asashoryu, after being in Mongolia for a few days, was happy to be able to return home today to spend time with Little Dorj, before taking off again (also today) for Kyushu ---to fulfill his yokozuna-ish obligations and begin his intensive training for the last basho of the year. He had dinner with ex-Yokozuna Wajima on the 22nd, a day before the Ishikawa, Kanazawa jungyo began.They have the same number of yushos (14). "I didn't have to explicitly tell him-it goes without saying- he'll get his 15th, no doubt about it!!", said Wajima to the press. It was reported that before Asashouryuu donned his golden mawashi last Haru-basho, he called Wajima up and asked if it was OK by him, noting that they have a good relationship going. Asashouryuu showed up on day one of the Ishikawa jungyo wearing the gold mawashi. He didn't do any keiko because of a "Kintamayama" (a pain in the neck), but did participate in the afternoon torikumi. "I have spoken to Wajima a number of times and promised him I will gambarize and get my 7th straight yusho!", said the Yokozuna.

Asojima 2,874 Posted October 25, 2005 He had dinner with ex-Yokozuna Wajima on the 22nd. Excellent choice in companionship!! :-S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 45,116 Posted October 25, 2005 Asashouryuu had 15 bouts with Futenou and Hakuhou and others and went 13-2. "Since we are nearing the Kyushu basho, I better start gearing up!", he said. He was seen "lending his chest" to Takekaze and showing Hakuhou how to use his head at the tach-ai, literally, and generally showing the leadership expected of him. Then he signed many autographs for youngsters. "We have to help kids fulfill their dreams", he said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 45,116 Posted October 26, 2005 No training for Asa today. he has a light cold, and since the jungyo is now in a mountanous cooler area, he isn't taking any chances. He did , however, do the dohyo-iri and had his afternoon bout. The jungyo is 8 days old , not bad considering the waning interest we constantly hear about. "I hope this brings in more fans", said the Yokozuna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutbum 0 Posted October 29, 2005 well I visited the jungyo in Toyooka this week and the training session in the morning was quite interesting. But I did not see the Yokozuna give any autogramms that day, anyway he refused to give me one, which I didnt find so great of him. (Eek...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your only a Maezumo you get to go to jungyo and speak to the great one? Your complaining? (In a state of confusion...) ;-) Seriously though,welcome to the forum Mr Troutbum (Whistling...)

Kintamayama 45,116 Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) Asashouryuu returned to asageiko after 4 days of rest on the final day of the Aki jungyo. He was wild with enthusiasm. He had 10 bouts, no results given, but he was looking good. He even tsuriotoshi-ed Kasugaou three straight times. " Three straight!! Didja see that?? I've gotta bring my physical condition up to par by doing keiko, huh??", said an enthusiastic Yokozuna. Immediately after the keiko, he returned to Tokyo to see his newborn son and family, and will leave for Kyushu today.
