inhashi 2,363 Posted March 12, 2017 Some disheartening news of Toyonoshima. He will be kyujo for today with pain in the right calf being the reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll be a no-show for day 1, but he won't show up on the NSK kyujo list for day 1 (past the deadline and on the torikumi). He'll be on that list for day 2 or day 3, depending on when they make it official. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted March 12, 2017 Day 1 Fusen Makushita 2 East TOYONOSHIMA and Jonidan 81 East TAKANONARI did not appear for their matches on Day 1. Forum member inhashi reports Toyonoshima has pain in his right calf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,328 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Gyoji kyujo: From the (cursed?) new(?) Nakagawa-beya, makuuchi gyoji Shikimori Yonokichi is kyujo since day 1 because of poor health. http://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2017031200350&g=spo He was told by the doctors on the 24th last month that he needs 4 weeks of rest. http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20170312/sum17031219040012-n1.html The heya was staying at the old Kasugayama-beya location, the building of the ex-oyakata of Yonokichi, who just died (Kasugafuji) - further information withheld by the family. I haven't heard anything about which permanent location the heya has/will have. Edited March 13, 2017 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inhashi 2,363 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) And Hakuho is out The bandaged right foot that was injured being the reason http://mainichi.jp/articles/20170316/k00/00e/050/266000c?inb=ys Edited March 16, 2017 by inhashi link 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger Tanaka 225 Posted March 16, 2017 Very unfortunate. He didn't look in good form and the foot had to be hampering him. I'm sure the tough decision on day 4 didn't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_golem 213 Posted March 16, 2017 In protest of the non-torinaoshi decision, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MumboJumbo 37 Posted March 16, 2017 Kaisei is back?? I guess he doesn't want to drop too far. Hakuho clearly had trouble generating any meaningful power. I hope we can get one basho with four healthy yokozunae. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
