http://sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoMain/absence/ now has it: Kotoshogiku out from Day 3

2 weeks of treatment expected to fully recover from a torn muscle in the left lower leg. The shisho told what Kotoshogiku said: after the torikumi "there was that snapping sound", still pain in the morning, "I can't put the foot on the ground", he shows the desire to reenter later. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202009150000140.html

Anybody know what is going on with Takaryu's (Makushita #43) legs? He doesn't walk in a normal way. His legs almost seem to be misshapen. He's a large lad, but does that account for it?

Height	180.7cm
Weight	188.4kg

I guess that means that Kyokutaisei is not "too" seriously injured.  He probably wants to try and protect his Makuuchi status...  Let's see how that works out.

It is still early in the torikumi-making day. Sekitori  kyujos tend to be reported just before they start work on it.

[Yubinhaad 11,594]

Kyokutaisei is kyujo from Day 5, the press report a left achilles tendon injury requiring six weeks treatment.

Meisei will collect the fusensho.

Noticed that myself, think he's got genu varum aka bandy legs. There are different causes for that, most being childhood illness or genetics. 

I've seen video from him back in middle school, where he was also a very heavy lad, and his legs were the same.

Actually, I googled based on your suggestion and I think his condition more closely resembles this:

 Knock knees, also known as genu valgum, is a type of knee alignment seen when a child (or adult) stands up straight with their knees together, but their feet and ankles stay apart

Coincidentally, perhaps, it was his legs that failed him in his loss on day 7. They sort of crumpled under him and he lost balance and went down.

[Yubinhaad 11,594]

Thanks for the sekitori updates, code and yohcun.

 

I fell behind a bit so time to catch up with the lower division movements:

Ahead of DAY 7, withdrawing:

Sd70e Kotootomo (fusenpai Day 6)

Ahead of DAY 9, withdrawing:

Jd1e Asanojo (fusenpai Day 7)

Jk7w Teraosho

Ya, I think you're probably right. Either way, it looks like an uncomfortable condition to move around with!

Press report that Kiribayama is kyujo from Day 10 due to a left shoulder injury, sustained in his bout against Takakeisho yesterday.

Asanoyama gets his second fusensho of the basho.

[Asojima 2,873]

Anyone want to do the average number of makuuchi kuyjos per each of the 6 basho for say the last 10 years?  I suspect that Aki may top the list.

Possible rotator cuff tear. "He heard a funny sound when it happened. He says he cannot exert any power. Rejoining the basho? If he appears unreasonably and can only do strange sumo (meaning if his sumo is not up to par), I will not allow it!" said Michinoku Oyakata.

I would if I've got my own copy of the db...

A withdrawal and a late arrival ahead of Day 11.

Withdrawing:

Sd29w Kenshin

Entering:

Ms38e Kainoshima (first appearance under his new shikona, he meets 0-5 Sasakiyama)

I can't help but read a (possibly unintended) swipe at Kotoshogiku in Michinoku oyakata's words.

I'm sure it was unintended. But I'm not sure how much sway Sadogakake oyakata has in this situation. It's a lot easier to tell a 24 year old in their fourth makuuchi basho what to do than a 36 year old ex-ozeki.

[Reonito 1,384]

Apparently Endo is out. Takakeisho will get a much-needed freebie.

[specialweek 2 136]

Endo Kyujo( posted 1.5 sec late)

Old injury right ACL flared up from earlier in the basho. 4 weeks recovery.

Takakeisho gets a day off (and no big kensho today)

[yohcun 400]

Takakeisho catches a break for once.

And Kiribayama re-enters from tomorrow. Apparently convincing his oyakata his sumo wasn't too strange.

These comments aged well. 

At least Kiribayama has a very reasonable record to date, unlike Kotoshogiku or Ishiura. Even one more win will maintain his position for the next basho, and 2 will even see him move up.
