Kyushu Basho 2008 - Day 10
After low scoring on days 8 and 9, day 10 saw a huge bounce in average points with the 7.70 just barely missing the top 25 all-time highest scores list. In Makunouchi division, WM3 Tsuyoikaze got back to his winning ways today to increase his record to 9-1. One match down is WM12 Pandaazuma while a group of three others are at 7-3. Ozeki Sumio fell to 6-4 to dash his Yokozona promotion hopes, however, if Sumio can finish out the tournament with a decent record, he would still have a great shot for another chance for promotion in the Hatsu Basho.
In Juryo, WJ1 Gonzaburrow extended his lead to two matches over the field with a day 10 win. EJ2 Leonishiki, WJ2 Sokkenaiyama, WJ5 Ostroiajin and EJ10 Mysko are now 7-3 and waiting patiently should the leader come into foul times in the coming days. In Makushita, Em8 Toschima, the last remaining undefeated wrestler in the Kyushu basho picked up his first loss on day 10. Toschima is now in a two-way tie with Wm37 Koriazuma who hasn't lost a match since day 2.

Thus far, Tsuyoikaze has compiled an 8-1 record to hold a match lead over WM4 Huumi, WM12 Pandaazuma and WM13 Ganzohnesushi.
