Asashosakari 20,225 Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) 16 hours ago, Asashosakari said: [Takayasu's] injury is somewhat vaguely reported as a partial muscle tear, though that's from what Tagonoura told the press this morning; the official diagnosis in the kyujo notice may end up more detailed than that. Partial tear of the left deltoid muscle, 3 weeks treatment. Kise's kyujo is officially due to his left pectoralis major again, with a one-month timeframe.

Haruibono 11 Posted May 16, 2018 This is very sad for Terunofuji. Not that long ago I thought he was heading for the top. Needs to get that diabetes under control, maybe sumo isn't a suitable career for him now. Lose weight,and get healthy. He is young enough to look at other options.

Akinomaki 41,779 Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) The kyujo certificate for Terunofuji is for "damage of the left outer meniscus. Kyujo for the Natsu-basho is required as of this day", but he may reenter - Isegahama-oyakata: "Even with painkillers, the pain is winning. If this situation improves, wanting to reenter is in his feelings." If not he'd drop to makushita - which no ex-ozeki since the start of Showa has: he is the 4th ozeki to have dropped till juryo. The oyakata about what then: "We can't think about that until it happens." http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20180516/sum18051611120008-n1.html. http://www.daily.co.jp/general/2018/05/16/0011260367.shtml http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/sumo/20180516-OYT1T50034.html Edited May 17, 2018 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 20,225 Posted May 18, 2018 12 minutes ago, Fukurou said: Jk16e TERASAWA I was wondering if something was up with him after he lost in one-sided fashion on Day 3. Even accounting for the fact that his opponent Fukazawa is one of the more talented rikishi down there - accomplished college guy vs okay high school guy shouldn't be looking the way it did.

Eikokurai 3,437 Posted May 18, 2018 I’ve never found myself able to like Terunofuji all that much, but it’s never nice seeing a guy decline as he has, and in such quick time as well. Crazy to think that last May he was en route to a second consecutive jun-yusho and on a possible tsuna run, yet this May is on the brink of intai or toriteki duties after winning just eight bouts in a year.

Tiger Tanaka 226 Posted May 19, 2018 He did look quite winded after the Day 5 win over Ichinojo, I wonder if he aggravated an injury then. Shame as it happens when he's made a career resurgence and finally broke into the sanyaku. Hoping he can return to form soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad for Endo but it gets Tochinoshin that bit closer to his double-digits and keeps him in the lead for the yusho race. Every cloud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
