Doitsuyama 1,150 Posted January 15, 2002 Yokozuna Musashimaru has not recovered in time from his cartilage surgery after Kyushu 2001 on the left wrist and Musashigawa oyakata announced his kyujo starting tomorrow. Kaiho will get a fusenhai win (and move 3-2 lifetime against the Yokozuna...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotoseiya Yuichi 3 Posted January 15, 2002 First tochu-kyujo, you mean as several rikishi have been zen-kyu since day one. :-/ (I can't help my internal quibbler...) (Baaa...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 16, 2002 Also, Takanowaka seems to be out, too, broken rib(s). Both were in my Bench-team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoshifransu 0 Posted January 17, 2002 You too ? Both of them ? My poor bench team at the moment ... It seems my whole bench will be kyujo before the end !!! I'm not very helped by my Kotonowaka's choice too ! (Devilish thought) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotoseiya Yuichi 3 Posted January 17, 2002 I'm not very helped by my Kotonowaka's choice too ! (Devilish thought) I have Kotonowaka, Daizen & Asanowaka whose combined total after four days is 0-12. What was I thinking... (Going nuts...) Well, today Kotonowaka & Daizen have a mutual bout so one of them is bound to get a win unless some freak itami-wake takes place! (What is that?)

(Going nuts...) :-/ I'm actualy surprised by the quality of my team's performance. It seems I'm slowly learning how to predict what rikishi will have a good basho... (but not what rikishi will go kyujo, obviously). OK, now I totaly jinxed myself, high-time it was... Â (Hmmm...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 17, 2002 BTW, anybody knows when exactly T'waka injured himself? I couldn't see anything in his bout with 'Nami... maybe it was a jungyo injury getting worse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 154 Posted January 18, 2002 From what I saw of the bout, it seemed to happen right at the end when Takanonami was forcing him out over the bales. Takanowaka seemed to grimace. He then doubled over after stepping out, favoring his right side. I'm not sure exactly how the injury occured though. It seems almost ridiculous to say this, but could it be possible that nami squeezed him hard enough to cause it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 18, 2002 It seems almost ridiculous to say this, but could it be possible that nami squeezed him hard enough to cause it? This would truly earn Nami his 'Evil' nickname... in Kyushu he broke Haya's shoulder-bone, now Takanowaka's rib... equaling Kaio's bone-breaking record in makuuchi!

Hoshifransu 0 Posted January 18, 2002 Strangely, did you notice every 5 makuuchi wrestlers who were 5-0 down all won today ? Asanowaka, Kotonowaka, Kyokutenho, Akinoshima, Tamanoshima. Sometimes, I believe in the end of series, and five is a perfect number. Perhaps I'm only superstitious but it's a fact. If only I could know what will happen thanks to numbers, that could help me in the various Sumo games ! (Alien stuff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 154 Posted January 20, 2002 When did Nami break Hayateumi's shoulder bone? I know that in Kyushu Hayateumi suffered a severly dislocated knee against Nami. When he fell at the end of the bout, he was clearly favoring that knee. It was even reported on the SML that Hayateumi was kyujo because of the knee dislocation. So when did he break his shoulder bone? Curious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 21, 2002 Um, then I heard wrong... I heard that Haya had broken collarbone and strained neck after that fight. Sorry about the misinformation, if it is misinformation, I haven't really checked... (Blush...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 24, 2002 Well, no-one posted this yet, so let me: Takanowaka is back! This is good news for my poor bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoshifransu 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Well, good news for us who put him into our Sumo Bench !!! It's never too late ! :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
