Let us all have a moment of silence...

Asashouryuu has dropped out of the summer tournament due to an injury to his arm sustained when he was ignominiosly tossed out of the ring by Wakanosato on Monday. This means we'll be seeing a yokozuna-less basho this May, which opens up the field quite a bit. As of day 4 there are 4 undefeated wrestlers: co-ozeki Chiyotaikai and Hakuho, veteran Miyabiyama, and Roho's little brother Hakurozan. My money's on Hakuho. Look out for the Mighty Munkhbat to win his first tourney this summer.
