At 8-5 he at least has a kachi-koshi, although it's a shame he doesn't have a chance for an even better record.

They said it's an injury to the tailbone.

Freebee for Buyuzan to go 9-5

Why does he retire? Is he hurt, or what?

No, he decided that 8 wins are exactly what he wanted. So, after getting his eighth win against Asasekiryu he called it quits. Get used to that from him in the future.

I heard rumours that Ama is going to sit out next basho because the opposition could become too tough and he might lose more than he wins. So he wants to start as a Juryo again to avoid a make koshi...

Yes, but moreover, he will spend every single evening from now on in the yakiniku tabehoudai shop eating like a pig in order to add some extra weight that will be necessary at the higher levels of makuuchi. :-(

He has done quite well considering his injury. If you are hurt at tail bone it's a hell, believe me....the pain is much worse than hurting your fingers , knees or elbows.

He has done his duty to his fans showing good enjoyable sumo. Good luck for next basho. He is the best rikishi at moment ....nobody, even Asashoryu is not close to him.

Ama went on the kyujo list with a severe lower back pain. He had hurt his tailbone earlier in the tournament but kept on wrestling despite the pain.

Hey, aren't you getting a bit carried away here? Ama, better than Asashouryuu?

I will be totally surprised if he gets more than 6 wins next basho.Get real.

i know. been there done that. even though a tatami cushions the fall, if you land on your bottom the wrong way, it can take more than a month for the pain to go away.

time for a reality check (Showing respect...) . if that were so, ama would not have lost any bout.

i think the leaderboard shows clearly the difference between Asa and the rest of the rikishi. Asa got 5 yusho last year. 2 of which are zensho. he is going for another zensho tomorrow, so somehow i do not think Ama is better than Asa.

Sure. The fans are always a bit carried away.(Or do I have a fever ?)

But, what I ment was that Ama is the guy who brings most out of his "possible" potential. In this respect, he is really the best.

That's why people get surprised when he wins more than 6. (Showing respect...)

Actually, he never surprises me-I know he is a great warrior. The question is, how will he do higher up the Banzuke..

6.

I dont know about that but I'm gonna give him a good kicking if I ever meet him :-)

I didn't know he was Kyujo and it cost me a win in Sekitori quad.

Nah, Takamisakari is the greatest  . he has to fight despite being a mr. nice guy.

Good one. O.K. I'll give up the Ama hype.....

Probably, he would hit "the wall" first....and then I don't know. Actually, I don't expect him becoming sanyaku rikishi. If he can compete as a makuuchi regular...that would be something.

If you look at other historical examples, such as Terao, there is no reason why he could not become sanyaku a couple of times in his carreer.
