Chiakiraku in the Grand Sumo Tournament in Kyushu, Takayasu, who was the sole leader, lost to Aen in the flat curtain, and lost in the championship match, and was unable to get the cup again.
Takayasu has been involved in the battle for victory many times so far and has held back tears at the end.
At this year's spring place, he suffered a come-from-behind loss in the championship match against Wakatakakage Sekiwake just one step away from the ring, and although he also fought for the championship with Tamawashi in the previous place, he lost in a direct confrontation at Chiakiraku.
After losing to Tamawashi, he vowed, "I couldn't win the championship, but I want to try again and again. I won't forget this feeling and train again." I've been around
Chiakiraku was the sole top with two losses, and Takayasu looked back on the match with Aen, who was the winner if he won, saying, "I was prepared to decide."
He drove Aen with a powerful thrust, but he couldn't push the tenacious opponent one more step, and the situation turned around.
He was knocked down and fell headlong into the ring, and it became a championship match between three people, including Takakage Ozeki.
The first match decided by lottery is Takayasu and Aen again.
Takayasu was knocked down by Aen's hataki, who made a big move to the left during the match.
He got off the ring with his body supported, and after that, he only answered, "I'm fine."
Takayasu, who missed the championship again, was asked about the championship match, and after a few moments of silence, he said, "It's my fault that I fell." I'll train," he said severely.
The first-year Kyushu tournament ended with a disappointing 12 wins and 3 losses. I want to aim and do my best,” he concluded.
Those who strive to practice more than others will face next year with the thought that "this time is the time" in their hearts.
