Intai press conference

Nakamura apparently is safe. Nikkan reports, with already having the msTD qualification, he wants to spend this year without getting injured - they call it approach run for joining the pros - and then follow the next path, that of ozumo. At the moment he's back at Kaiyo high for teaching practice (I hope he won't like it too much and changes his mind), as part of his studies, to refresh - till tomorrow. Then he leaves for the world games. in front of the sumo club o o

At the intai press conference, Shohozan told that he had been asked "Should we arrange for a kabu?", but "I had no desire at all to remain in the NSK, doing something new is best done quickly." "I think I'm not suited to be a coach, I want to be a player. I'm not good at instructing people, with strong perseverance, that's why. I thought about that since quite some time ago." http://www.zakzak.co.jp/article/20220629-Y7JGDGDVZBPR7JJKVESYFDREZQ/

Today at the Nittaidai appointment ceremony of the athletes for the world games, Hanada told that he's doing mainly sumo, 80% of training, amefuto 20%. He skipped the east Japan student championships on June 12th to cure his injured left shoulder. o o

Saito is using the shikona (and image) Hayateumi on his election poster, but only applied for the elections under his real name - he could have applied for both. He and his helpers use the site hayateumi.com and a YT channel for PR - and his older twitter. The posters on the site show him only now though: hayateumi.com/download His data now: 184cm, 129kg, chest 120cm, grip strength 90kg, 5.6s on a 50m dash His former occupation is sumo, it is not listed among the sports he is good at. He talks about his youth, amateur beginnings and pro sumo career at first in the presentation video for the elections https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBX-h5nnuwk&t=30s The highlight is his trademark jump, also in his profile https://hayateumi.com/profile/#sumo Chanko preparation at a local matsuri at the Hakuho cup PR for Aomori in Taiwan as background election poster

It is not "his" Twitter/FB but that of the intai zumo event executive office. That is in fact he - and helpers, because all is organized by the oyakata who has the event. If he will continue to use it after the event remains to be seen.

The posters have quite a standard this jungyo, Funabashi and Saitama have the same basic design as Kasukabe above The 2 Saitama pref. jungyo have exactly the same group on the posters, Funabashi has Chiba local Kotonowaka instead of Saitama local Abi. Tachikawa has the same Shodai and Mitakeumi Only Koga has something different and they have sold out https://anfini.co.jp/hoiku/topics/2022531_sumokoga.html Tatsunami is the responsible for that jungyo and was at the press conference end of May

For October 15th a jungyo is scheduled for Kuki, Saitama, the last there was 22 years ago, the one scheduled for April 2020 was among those of the first Corona canceled jungyo. Different oyakata, same pose: Tatsutagawa was in Kuki on the 24th http://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2022062700217&g=soc

After being canceled in 2020 and without spectators from the general public in 2021, this year there will again be ordinary spectators for some disciplines, including sumo. Those held indoors and with a high ratio of athletes and coaches among the people who fit in the halls are still without spectators or with a limited number, also just parents. https://www.kochinews.co.jp/article/detail/574480

Hochi hints that he changed back to his real first name to show his feelings for his family. During the suspension, his grandfather died last year in June and his father in August. https://hochi.news/articles/20220627-OHT1T51173.html

Gambling is illegal IN Japan, any provider within the country would be prosecuted, if he gets found out. There may be workarounds that avoid direct gambling for money, like the pachinko model with some prizes you can sell again nextdoor. I guess the article is complete nonsense, definitely completely misleading. Japanese gambling from Japan at foreign sites have to be careful to hide their winnings.
