John Gunning article about physical heya, but also a note why Kakuryu is trying to hang on as long as possible:

Yeah I would imagine that while with Kisenosato this was not an issue at all, the YDC should be generous enough to allow Kakuryu to sit kyujo for as long as he needs to get his paperwork in order so he can stay and coach, at least I hope so.

That being said, who knows, he could come back with another good performance in January.

The day 1 Torikumi is up, click here to view the matchups

In addition to Kakuryu, Hakuho and Kotoyuki are kyujo. Chiyonoo coming up from Juryo on day 1 to face Shimanoumi for balance purposes.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It's pretty loving funny, that's for sure.

I wonder how Enho's gonna do in the lower-end of Maegashira. Maybe the slightly lower quality of opposition will let him work his magic some more?

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Wonder if Hakuho is doing that in solidarity with Kakuryu? He's clearly shown that he's healthy and in beastly condition. Perhaps that or he doesn't feel he's 100% and just wants to be ready for the Olympics ceremony.

Chris Gould suggested Hakuho might sit out to help protect Kakuryu from punishment by the council, so that's definitely a possibility.

Feel free to edit your picks freely until I announce the draft.

Pick order matters! Also, I'm gonna open the ozeki up to 50% of the players, since 3 is a small group to pick from.
