"(Because of injuries) I have had rehab and had to build up my body and finally (I have won again).""I took each bout as it came and I think I wrestled well. Hopefully I'll finish off on the right note tomorrow."Terunofuji (11-3) gave as good as he got as the pair shoved each other back and forth after a couple of brief stalemates. But Hakuho drew back and spotted an opening to get both arms around the ozeki and muscle Terunofuji over the edge.Mongolian yokozuna Harumafuji suffered a second straight defeat, getting slapped to the dirt by ozeki Goeido (9-5) in the day's last bout to drop to 11-3Takayasu virtually sealed promotion to ozeki with his 11th win in Friday's bout against Harumafuji, but the sekiwake came a cropper and dropped to 11-3, crushed out by fifth-ranked maegashira Shodai (9-5).In order to qualify for promotion to the sport's second-highest rank, Takayasu came into the meet needing a minimum of 10 wins for a total of 33 over three straight tournaments.Sekiwake Kotoshogiku gave his losing mark a little more respectability, driving out third-ranked maegashira Daieisho (3-11) for an easy sixth win.Swami</blockquote>
