Seems sensible to me, especially if he's saving himself for that 40th birthday yusho in November.

Akinomaki 39,856 Posted March 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jakusotsu said: This one worries me the most - what happened to Iron Man? I don't think it is that serious, Asahi 2 days ago posted pics from training during the basho - his type of sumo causes short term damage to the knees, not the permanent type of Terunofuji. But at 39 the damage has piled up o he is Japanese since during the basho and probably has a kabu in reach - he can go on relaxed now. Better kyujo now than when it matters and endangers his record Edited March 29 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingo 1,161 Posted March 30 As I guessed, we are now finding out the issues that caused Kirishima's awful basho. Why he didn't go kyujo is beyond me -- I did read here that apparently he couldn't have attended the post-basho party and bid farewell to his shiho if he went kyujo, but still...

Yamanashi 3,730 Posted March 30 4 hours ago, dingo said: I did read here that apparently he couldn't have attended the post-basho party and bid farewell to his shiho if he went kyujo, but still... If that's true, it's emblematic of another stupid rule. If he hobbles up to Michinoku with a stiff neck and shakes his hand, will someone from the Sumo Police force him to get back in bed? [I know of a rikishi with a real bad ankle who's gallavanting all around northern Honshu picking up heavy bags of rice and veggies]. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunbaiHolder 25 Posted April 3 From Nishikigi's score, I thought he would also have been injured, but I guess he is not, since he's taking part in the jungyo? Why did he do so poorly last basho?
