Next out: Wakamotoharu - Abi gets the fusensho http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/sumo/20240518-OYT1T50077/

sanyaku down to 2 ozeki, 1 sekiwake and 1 komusubi

Wakamotoharu yesterday injured his right big toe as he got thrust down by Daieisho

M1w Daieisho (5-1) tsukitaoshi S1e Wakamotoharu (3-3)

Today swellings appeared, it first looked like he could enter but the pain remained also after taking painkillers - he went to a hospital. He might re-enter, depending on how he recovers. 3rd kyujo for him.

5 out of 9 sanyaku are now kyujo, more than half - 9 sekitori in all were kyujo so far, 2 have returned.

Makes sense for Kirishima. He needed 7 from 9 which is 78%; 10 from 15 in July is 67%.

Terunofuji, Kirishima, Takakeisho, Wakamotoharu, Takayasu.... this tournament is decimating the ranks, specially the named ones...

Do the rank-and-filers get drafted in for the sanyaku dohyo iri?

Did you mean the sanyaku soroibumi on Day 15...? That frequently includes maegashira anyway.

Or the chairman's greeting on Day 15? Yeah, that will just be done with whoever is still available from sanyaku.

I think I was getting the two confused. I have a photo of Hakakku on the dohyo with nine of the ten sanyaku from Aki 2022 (Abi was kyujo), which must be the chairman's greeting.

Matsui is back in action, losing to Osanai, who did not push.

Wonder if Hakuho is going to strip him of his shikona, or if that threat was unique to Hokuseiho

I've always had a bad feeling the guy's going to become Daikiho #2, I don't need yet another ominous sign.

Hakuouhou- COVID.

About 5 days of rest needed (= back in 3 days in sumo terms) - especially the right arm with ruptured biceps brachii muscle needs that rest, when he's better they'll think about re-entering. He injured the arm on day 2 but had continued so far o - and while the papers and we first thought that was the reason for kyujo, he apparently doesn't care about aggravating that condition
