(Onosho rag-dolled for third straight L)
Onosho - after
eleven days - stood at door
of strong arrival
no one since Hakuho went
kachikoshi first three times
(a fellow sumo
enthusiast informed me
of this on twitter)
Aki basho seemed like it
could belong to Onosho
but eight wins appeared
more difficult a psychic
hurdle than he thought
losses day nine and ten left
Onosho looking shaken
Tochiozan was
his opponent this day - what
should be easy win
but Onosho never got
off the mark, smacked back, stifled
no forward progress
after his initial launch,
young Onosho lost
pushed out by Tochiozan
into dohyo-side front row
Onosho looked back,
flustered melancholy look -
psychic weight heavy
“how to turn this energy
back to something positive?”
big boy momentum
moves in metaphysical
ways as well as “real”
Onosho stood in that door,
but was not ready to cross yet
but was not ready to cross yet
