Kintamayama 47,193 Posted May 30, 2003 (edited) "I'm really happy.These four months with almost no salary (150,000 yen=$1250) were very difficult. In the paid ranks, I used to make 1,000,000 yen($8400). I do have some savings, but having a wife and a child to support, it was very difficult", said Chiyotenzan, after being informed of his return to Sekitori territory. He also said he owes his family a lot for their support. He dropped from 145 kilos to 135. "I am now on a balanced diet- never eat after 9 pm", he said. He hopes to make a new start, and show that his family's support was justified. Nothing on what the real reason (medical? mental?) reason for his bad performances of late, that dropped him from Komusubi to Makushita in a couple of years.

Tony 16 Posted May 30, 2003 Nothing on what the real reason (medical? mental?) reason for his bad performances of late, that dropped him from Komusubi to Makushita in a couple of years. According to Sentoryu, Chiyotenzan has sugar ( too high rate ) in blood's problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
