Worth pointing out that the last time he had a basho off for free (Natsu 2020 due to the COVID-cancelled basho), he came back with double digits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubinhaad 11,761 Posted January 10, 2022 Five withdrawals from the lower divisions ahead of Day 3: Ms32e Asonoyama (fusenpai Day 1) - as reported by Akinomaki above, a knee injury in asageiko Ms37w Fukushima (fusenpai Day 2) - Nishikido-beya is kyujo due to COVID Ms57e Wakanoumi (fusenpai Day 2) - ditto Sd87w Iko (fusenpai Day 1) Jd23e Shinyashiki (fusenpai Day 1) Nishikido-beya gyoji Kimura Kintaro is also off the torikumi-hyo, and I assume their blanket withdrawal also covers yobidashi Tsurutaro and tokoyama Tokonaka too.

I guess that it was at this point: ... when he rolled his ankle which made the side of his foot touch the dohyo (mere milliseconds before Ura landed, as you can see), which is why the torinaoshi was warranted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 11,761 Posted January 12, 2022 Lower divisions ahead of Day 5, a pair of rikishi "return" for their first actual appearances, and one more withdraws.

He's been a shadow of himself, I'd even thought makuuchi ruined his confidence. 5 hours ago, Katooshu said: Anyone know what's up with Hitoshi from Oitekaze?
