Kurowashi

Nice Shitatehineri by Enho ! Juryo is in my opinion, so much more exciting than Makuuchi, this basho.

Indeed. When i saw his last bout, my first thought was, that his career might be over. If i remember correctly, he had to be wheeled out of the arena..

Thanks for the insight ! Well as a optimistic person, i take it for a good sign, that he is able to workout and hope that he doesn‘t have to go down the last opportunity route..

Is there any information about Hokuouzan‘s (Hagiwara) injury and the estimated time of healing ?

Is that the Benkei, who kept fighting even though he got hit by loads of arrows, until he died standing ?

This is also my assumption.

But that‘s also very suboptimal, at least for those who were out early to mid basho… For example if the basho have had ended on day 5, reverse Mitakeumi aka Shodai, would have had a mk, but now he has a kk…

Ah ok, thank you ! I confused his grandfather with his oyakata…

His father and grandfather or only his grandfather ?

Oh, i mixed something up, thanks for the clarification !

Absolutely agree, but i‘m not optimistic for that, i think they will take a lot of time for a decision… I understand your point of view, but in my opinion the punishment was hard enough, especially considering his father and his stablemaster dying in that time too…

Not counting this basho, would also basically mean, an 7th punishment basho for Asanoyama… This problematic is so complex and there seems to be no fair solution for all rikishi. I‘m curious how they will handle the banzuke.

I‘m hoping now for a kettei-sen between Terunofuji and Ichinojo and Ichinojo winning the yusho. In my opinion this would be the most exciting outcome for this basho :)

I wouldn‘t worry to much, here in Germany at football games it‘s like before covid, since full capacities are allowed again…

Yeah, now it‘s definetely his to loose !
