Natsu jungyo 2017 goatalk

[Bumpkin]

I hope Ura does rest his injured knee. He got beat up pretty badly in Nagoya. We don't want him to go the way of Terunofuji, Endo, Ichinojo and so many others. Get well soon.

And now another major kanban rikishi is out of the jungyo. Ura.

Why is it that Ura is considered as a kanban rikishi?  Clearly, I do not understand the special uses of the term "kanban"... ;-(

A "showcase", "popular", "billboard"- the guy the fans want to see. The opposite of Tokushouryuu and Daishoumaru (as much as I may like them), for example  - an attraction,. a signboard for sumo.

  "It's a right knee ligament injury. He can hardly walk. Seems like he needs to rest for a month. There is no use in him doing anything unnecessary. The Tokyo basho is around the corner so his first priority is getting healthy for that, " explained Tamanoi deputy jungyo chairman. 

So it's ok for Ura to get rest and heal up, but not for a Japanese Yokozuna.

Unfortunately, that observation seems to be entirely accurate.

Tagonoura seems to be pressuring Kisenosato to enter the jungyo mid-way. Or maybe he in turn is being pressured by the Kyokai rijis, who are in turn being pressured by the jungyo sponsors, who more than  anything and regardless of anything, want to see Kisenosato around. "He has to be training while watching his condition. It's better that he heal himself at the jungyo than stay 'over there'.  He'll be able to train with the sekitori, you see??" said Tagonoura.

Kise himself asked about the jungyo, evading a direct answer: "After I have done sufficient training, I'll give my best." And the recovery of the left ankle: "Not nearly."

He did put on the keiko mawashi and did light exercises, shiko etc., to get into sweat.  http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20170801/sum17080105030001-n1.html

He looks like some sengoku general who just woke up with a hangover. 

[Wakaebala]

Does anybody have any information about Kakuryu? I can't remember any posts about his well-being... Everything must be so silent around him. Is it?

So the Natsu basho is in May but the Natsu jungyo is in August. Hmmn...

Right... As far as I know, the japanese use seasons names centered on the equinox/solstice. So Summer (Natsu) would be roughly May 5th - August 5th (so Natsu basho is in the range). And Autumn (Aki) would be roughly August 5th - November 5th (so perfect for Aki basho). So yeah, this august jungyo takes place in japanese autumn... Is there any reason I am not aware of?

As they often say, "the responsibility of yokozuna is very heavy".

Well, it starts in the period you showed as Natsu - and some names date back to times with less basho and also at different times of the year.

There is no jungyo after the Natsu-basho.

(I do not have the same translation with Google translate )

Kisenosato the new Sumo Superman, about his left ankle :
"I will try to float like a butterfly and to sting like a bee for the next Aki Basho. But right now I'm not feeling Super "

If we were to use Israelis as an example, there would be Moshe Feldenkrais, Ido Portal, and Moti Dichne.

Ido Portal is not that famous here. Try Topol, Natalie Portman and Gal Gadot.

Well, if recognition is any indication of fame, I recognised Topol, Natalie Portman and Moti Dichne!

Sorry, but 'Ido Portal' looks to me like it should have 'The' in front of it in big letters on the cover of a sci-fi novel...

Gal Gadot? Wonderwoman? Pretty famous lately.. Omri Caspi- NBA.

Hmmm, I wonder who is more excited to be shaking hands

What about Bar Refaeli, the model? Because she successfully avoided military service, maybe she isn't so famous after all. I heard that her decision caused a lot of resentment. If that's true, I guess she might even be called "infamous".

BTW, can I just say, as someone who normally hates goatees, that is one awesome goatee. Too bad he'll have to shave it off.
