Day 14

West Ozeki GOEIDO (8-5) has withdrawn as of day 14.

Injured while doing the henka? Just kidding!

I have watched some replays online that show Goeido after the match was over and I don't see anything where he appears to be grimacing. Did I miss something during the match? Maybe he injured himself earlier in the tournament and kept on going?

Left shoulder bone fracture? 左肩峰剥離骨折 (Left shoulder peak avulsion fracture? Turtle wax?) - 4 weeks to heal. "The left shoulder has two fractures. He was injured during the Hakuhou bout and actually since yesterday was in no shape to do sumo. Now he will absorb himself in the healing process. It's a real shame that we have to put a damper on the final days.." said Sakaigawa Oyakata.

BTW, the injury before the basho was in his right shoulder. Now it's in the wrong shoulder as well. 5th sekitori kyujo this basho.

That might explain why he didn't want to hit Kaisei full on, as has been much discussed in the other thread. Doing a full contact tachiai with someone as big as Kaisei is no joke (although Kaisei is kinda fluffy so that might soften the blow a bit :) )

Yeah, avulsion fracture of the left acromion, which is a word I'd never heard of before now.

No wonder, the German wikipedia doesn't even have an entry for it. Maybe Germans don't have it? :-O

We certainly have it here in America, where the acromion is one of the bones involved in a shoulder impingement, which I have in my right shoulder causing chronic pain in the shoulder and biceps.

I think that's the first time I've heard of a sumotori referred to as "fluffy." Made me laugh a little bit! (Laughing...)

Since it is a part of the shoulder blade you can find it there as a subsection. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulterblatt#Acromion

Two shoulder blade fractures in one tournament... Mhhh...

Because he has a lot of hair?

I'm thinking it's because he looks like the Michelin tire man.
