Konishiki had to rest in the hospital due to illness and could not wrestle for the first two days of the tournament. However, his condition turned better is participating from the third day. He may have lost some power due to the long fever but with his passion for sumo he will not desert us. Go! Go! Konishiki, we are behind you. Let's all cheer for him. |

Konishiki's Comments
First of all I want to say I'm sorry to my supporter's for the late appearence,but I can say that I'm back in good condition and ready to go to war. 3rd day Today march 11,1997 was my first match and my opponent was Kitakachidoki well the match went all his way I had him good at the start and I had to the rope off the start until started to run he tried once to pull me down at the rope but I had my balance and he made his way back towards the middle,it was there he pull me down by my arm. |
