dingo 1,299 Posted March 27 At least Takayasu made it until the end of the Haru basho without having to go kyujo in the middle of a promising result. I wonder if he had back pain during the basho and fought through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kintamayama 45,534 Posted April 6 Day 8: Toyama: Ozeki Kotozakura faced the likes of Daieishou, Hiradoumi and Meisei and was 11-1. The Jungyo started off on March 30th and today was its eighth venue, Toyama city. He hasn't been doing so great lately, going 5-10 and 8-7 in his last two bashos. "I wasn't in bad shape, but a loss is a loss, it was close, but it's not good to have that kind of inconsistency.. It's important to know how one is doing at any given moment. First kadoban? It's all part of my overall experience.." he explained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RabidJohn 1,855 Posted April 7 I know the NSK has got to capitalize on popularity where it can, but all this focus on a former ozeki who threw his career away seems OTT. Japanese copium consumption must be off the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
