Otokonoyama 2,730 Posted March 12 6 minutes ago, RaeucherLax said: I highly doubt the chance of a ruptured ACL healing in 3 weeks time... but then we are talking Sumo recovery times here This is just a quirk of the Japanese medical system. Generally speaking, that is the maximum amount of time the orthopedist can put on the initial certificate. It has something to do with employment law and medical leave. If you need further time off work once the certificate expires, you can go back as many times as necessary to get extensions. There may be some exceptions or special case rules, but that is what I've heard from Japanese doctors. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a lifetime injury - they don't heal, you just manage them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 8,751 Posted March 13 A quartet of withdrawals ahead of Day 7: Ms22e Tomisakae (1-2, fusenpai Day 6) Sd29w Masuminato (0-3, fusenpai Day 5) Sd79e Kyokuyuko (2-1, fusenpai Day 6) Jd56e Kenho (0-3, fusenpai Day 6) Tomisakae suffered a left arm triceps brachii muscle injury in his previous bout, how serious is still to be confirmed but Isegahama-oyakata (former Yokozuna Asahifuji) says he won't be returning to the basho. Also, I forgot to mention that Yutakanami was suffering from a hernia which caused a lot of pain and numbness, he has had surgery on it and is now recovering. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am the Yokozuna 93 Posted March 15 Hopefully, he would get tested to dispel any doubts. Kokonoe beya is quite big one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 8,751 Posted March 15 Ahead of Day 9, two of the earlier withdrawals return, and a former Juryo withdraws. Returning: Ms22e Tomisakae (see below) Sd79e Kyokuyuko Withdrawing: Mk39w Keitenkai - his left knee buckled at the edge in his last bout, although he had only a slight limp as he walked out so hopefully it's not serious. I can only guess Tomisakae's arm injury wasn't as bad as it seemed - this really doesn't look like someone who would be back after a few days.

robnplunder 730 Posted March 16 Chiyomaru's temp didn't go down. He will now get a COVID 19 test. It's a nervous time. Knock on wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubinhaad 8,751 Posted March 18 Just to catch up, there was one other change ahead of Day 11. Withdrawing: Sd84e Tochihayate (2-3, fusenpai Day 10) The winner of that fusen bout was none other than returning Kyokuyuko, I think he's the first rikishi since Kotoyutaka in 2012 Kyushu to benefit from a fusensho immediately on returning to the basho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubinhaad 8,751 Posted March 19 In the last update for the lower divisions, two Jonokuchi rikishi make a late entry in order to remain on the banzuke: Jk15w Shiryu Jk20e Chiyotaiho Osumifuji, Fujinonami, Yutakanami, Bariki and Tetsubisho will therefore drop off the banzuke (assuming they remain active). 18 hours ago, Asashosakari said: Azumanami 2016.01 Good catch, thanks! As you probably guessed I only queried those who had a fusen loss, I forgot that isn't a requirement in a toriteki kyujo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubinhaad 8,751 Posted March 22 J9w Hoshoryu will miss his final bout due to lower back pain, requiring several days of rest and treatment. Kotoyuki will be the lucky recipient of a kachi-koshi clinching fusensho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my.... that is not good. Not a whole lot of treatments work for back problems. If he keeps putting on weight, then that may only exacerbate the pain.
