Meikenonami 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Change of mind. Knee still bad BUT Shishio will participate in Nagoya! (In a state of confusion...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 431 Posted July 10, 2009 Change of mind. Knee still bad BUT Shishio will participate in Nagoya! (In a state of confusion...) Good attitude. Just as long as he doesn't risk destroying it altogether, it's betteer to keep going. Kaio made a whole career out of doing good sumo despite his injuries. Remember when it turned out he'd fought a whole basho with a broken bone in his strong right hand? I don't recall the exact words in the interview but the gist was "It was good. It made me develop techniques with the other hand." My kind of rikishi. Orion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted July 11, 2009 Change of mind. Knee still bad BUT Shishio will participate in Nagoya! (I am not worthy...) This is confirmed. Jk28E Shishio is NOT on the kyujo list that was published on the NSK website within the past hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotoviki 16 Posted July 11, 2009 If he doesn't participate at least some of this basho wouldn't he go banzuke gai? If he can at least go a few matches & get a couple wins this saves him from that!! Unless I'm wrong? I wish him luck & will cheer him on Meike's behalf (Bow...) when I get to Nagoya!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,848 Posted July 11, 2009 If he doesn't participate at least some of this basho wouldn't he go banzuke gai? If he can at least go a few matches & get a couple wins this saves him from that!! Unless I'm wrong? He only needs to participate in a single match to avoid banzuke-gai. No win is necessary. That is why a bunch of jonokuchis return from kyujo on day 11 or so. If you can hobble onto the dohyo for one match, you avoid BG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember if they won or lost. Starting at the beginning isn't a bad idea! Should you win you can keep on going if you feel ok!!! Thanks again!
