Koorifuu 994 Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) Unfitting end for a respectful career. I'd grown to appreciate his gatekeeping role in the makushita joi these last few years. If you beat him, you were ready for juryo. If you didn't, you probably weren't. Edited June 3, 2024 by Koorifuu 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsuchinoninjin 1,269 Posted June 3, 2024 Just 3 years ago there were 7 chiyo sekitori and now there are just going to be 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,221 Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) He debuted the basho I started watching sumo, so I have probably followed him more keenly than most. Three yusho in his first four basho, with easy wins over Kirishima during his early run. He had excellent form with his oshi sumo, but lacked the power to break into the upper half of juryo. His final bout of the March 2024 basho, vs Kairyu, was one of the better matches you will see. Shame I can't seem to find it to post.

Akinomaki 40,471 Posted June 4, 2024 Chiyonoumi wants to make use of his license as teacher for physical education at middle and high schools he obtained at Nittaidai and go for the teacher employment examination for the Tokyo Metropolitan area. He had planned to retired in September, but the employment examination is on July 7th and he prepares for that now. He got into the mood to retire when he dropped from juryo again last year Aki. The danpatsushiki is planned for Feb. 2nd next year in the banquet hall below in the kokugikan. In the interview with Nikkan he told that in his 4th year at Nittaidai he heard from 2 who became teachers "I should have gone pro". He wanted to become teacher all along and hadn't joined the NSK, had he not heard the talk from these 2. He started with sumo in primary school and in all did it for about 20 years: all of it was memorable, so he has no special bout to point out. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202406030000971.html He handed in the papers on the 3rd and they were accepted https://www.sumo.or.jp/IrohaKyokaiInformation/detail?id=649 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingo 1,263 Posted June 5, 2024 Thanks! It's always fascinating to read about the rikishis' post sumo career plans, especially those who take the less common route and don't go to food industry. Seems like he has a well thought out plan for the future, hope it works out for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame I can't seem to find it to post. Clipped from Miselet's archive: Besides Chiyonoumi's final win it was also Kairyu's final match. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
