What a match with Hakuho against Takanosho. Takanosho dominated today 
until Hakuho managed to pull off some sort of magic. There was 
switching of positions galore and Hakuho got into the terrible 
position of being on the dohyo edge, a mere push away from his first 
loss. Yet.. he strode off with Takanosho following and managed to pull 
Takanosho down just before Hakuho leapt out, victorious. His face said 
it all. He looked like the cat who got the cream. It was nice to see 
Hakuho's enjoyment at pulling off a Houdini move. 

Nagoya has been a fun tournament so far and we still have another 11 
days!
