Yubinhaad 11,046 Posted September 10, 2022 Sorry this is appearing so late, it's been a busy couple of days. At first it looked like all sekitori would start the basho, but at the last minute Komusubi Abi withdrew due to injury, causing the torikumi to be reshuffled somewhat. Here's the full list of absentees - let's hope this thread isn't as busy as last basho! ======================================= Komusubi Abi Ms10e Ishiura Ms50w Suguro Sd8e Kotodaishin Sd10w Daiseizan Sd22e Goshimaru Sd49w Fujiibuki Sd65w Daiyusho Sd67e Kanryu Sd69w Nishikinoryu Sd82e Kaizen Sd90e Asashiyu Jd5w Nakaishi Jd6w Kototaiga Jd8w Kyokuhozan Jd37e Kyokutaisei Jd40w Izumigawa Jd41e Roman Jd77e Kinseiryu Jd90e Watanabe Jd94e Chikureisen Jd106e Matsuzawa Jk4e Yamada Jk8e Teraosho Jk11w Tairikuyama Jk12e Chikunokura Jk14w Shokeima Jk15e Sawanofuji Jk15w Hokuozan Jk16e Wakakaneko 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asanowaka on the 29th had a fever of 39.6 °C . and went into isolation for 10 days, returning on the 8th. On the 9th he again had a light fever, 37.6°C, which was treated with fever medicine. That day he complaint of a soar throat, dripping nose and went to hospital again for a check and got the diagnosis of after-effects. o Other articles say he went today for a check o This is the first case of a medical certificate for a sekitori for Corona after-effects o The named days don't explain the late kyujo decision on day 1 though.

Yubinhaad 11,046 Posted September 12, 2022 Four withdrawals among the lower divisions ahead of Day 3: Sd31w Wakakinsho Sd46w Saidaiji (fusenpai Day 2) Sd85w Hokutoyakumo (fusenpai Day 2) Jk17w Sachinofuji - favoured his left leg after winning his bout today On 10/09/2022 at 14:49, Yubinhaad said: Sd10w Daiseizan Sd67e Kanryu Daiseizan had surgery on a right hand injury on September 7th. Two months recovery time indicated, so maybe he'll be back in time for Kyushu. Kanryu suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee during the Nagoya basho, and was admitted to hospital on August 6th for surgery.

I posted about this in the general discussion thread - they goofed (or changed how they do this) by giving him a sekitori opponent Day 2 and no opponent Day 1; when there was one sekitori withdrawal day 1, his planned matchup couldn't happen.

Feel bad for Daiseizan, but this probs gives him a Jonidan Yusho and bonus, so not the worst thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His father is the head sumo coach/principal at Tottori Johoku, one of the sumo powerhouse high schools. It's been speculated that Ishiura will be a sumo coach there, in order to secure a recruitment pipeline for Miyagino. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew his dad was a coach there, but hadn't thought through Ishiura taking on a similar role as part of a greater Miyagino strategy. Thank you! I suppose interesting aside, I wonder if it would be possible for Ishiura to obtain a kabu to stay on with the Kyokai in some capacity and still take on a coaching role. Likely unnecessary, but would add an interesting official connecton between Tottori and Miyagino stable or the broader Isegahama ichimon.
