Fukurou Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Day 11 LATE Hi guys! NSK website says West Juryo 13 SHIRONORYU (2-8) has withdrawn from day 11. 1
Asashosakari Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) NSK website says West Juryo 13 SHIRONORYU (2-8) has withdrawn from day 11.Cervical spinal cord injury requiring hospital-based treatment and one month of rest, as a result of yesterday's bout against Kitaharima. Definitely not the type of thing you want to read in a kyujo report... According to Sakaigawa-oyakata, Shironoryu is having trouble moving his head and is in no condition to do sumo. (Before anyone worries too much, I don't think they're talking about paralysis, just a painful sensation.) Edited January 23, 2013 by Asashosakari
Gottsueekaze Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Filing medical papers to the Japan Sumo Association that read: "with a central spinal cord injury it is expected that around 1 month of quiet outpatient treatment is needed." http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/sumo/news/f-sp-tp3-20130123-1075590.html *Edit Luckily this doesn't sound too serious - although it can't be fun. :( Edited January 23, 2013 by Gottsueekaze
Fukurou Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Day 13 West Jonidan 43 SETONISHIKI (2-4) is withdrawing as of day 13.
Fukurou Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I have no idea how I'd search to see the last time this happened, but I wonder how long it's been since there was a basho where no absent Jonokuchi returned to the basho in the final days so he could have 1 match to keep himself on the banzuke. Are things so bad that the oyakata are truly not afraid of rikishi falling to banzuke-gai status any more? (now that I've mentioned it, watch someone return for day 15 - and yes, I know that's pretty much impossible) Edited January 26, 2013 by Fukurou
Doitsuyama Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 It's the obvious explanation: Jonokuchi has become so small that some of the potential returnees are in jonidan nowadays, and will fall only to jonokuchi which is not a big falll nowadays. Actually, there are exactly two rikishi possibly going banzuke-gai (Ikeru and Kagawa), and it seems both are either too injured, intai-bound or AWOL, so no one is returning.
Fukurou Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Posted in the Bushuyama intai topic is news that Takamisakari has officially retired as well.
