Now Rohou?

[Kintamayama]

It looks like Rohou is injured now-hobbled off. You guys with your gossip jinxed him!

[Araiguma_Rascal]

Looks like he hurt his ankle on the tachi-ai. It was painful enough that he immediately stopped fighting, so I expect he's done.

[Kintamayama]

And guess who gets the fusen-sho tomorrow..

Miyabiyama.

Hmmm. Not a word about Rohou the Disrepectful's injury anywhere on the net.. Maybe it was a cramp? He couldn't step on his foot, yet no one seems to write about it anywhere.

It is too difficalt for me to translate the next text into English, may be anybody will do it.

Из достоверных источников мне известно, что РОХО травмировал голеностопный сустав до турнира.

Во время турнира ему ежедневно откачивали кровь из голеностопного сустава - два часа до поединка и два часа после поединка.

Ему следовало отказаться от турнира, но он видимо рассчитывал добиться простого КАШИ-КОШИ.

Если принять во внимание вышеизложенное, то станет ясным причина такого хэнка против КОККАЯ. Представьте себе - в момент тачи-ай он решает за доли секунды уклонится от поединка. Ясно, что причиной такого внезапного решения могла явится боль, а не простое желание добится победы таким образом. Вы прекрасно знаете, что он ни в чем не уступает КОККАЮ, и РОХО не стал бы уклоняться от поединка.

Столь пассивная борьба, которую показал РОХО в поединках с АСАШЁРЮ, ТОЧИАДЗУМА, ХАКУХО - тоже легко объяснить травмой. Не беру на себя смелость и далее рассуждать на тему - "о чем думал РОХО, или что он чувствовал".

РОХО не должен был участвовать в этом турнире, он только еще больше травмировал себя. Думаю, завтра он должен отказаться от дальнейшего участия в турнире.

Те из вас, кто настроен против РОХО, могут оставаться при своем мнении. Мною двигало желание объяснить ситуацию, а не выступать в качестве адвоката РОХО.

Machine manure translation, but I believe the gist is understandable. Now back to my seclusion..

To me it is known from the reliable sources that ROKHO traumatized talocrural joint before the tournament. During the tournament to it daily pumped out the blood from the talocrural joint - two hours to the duel and two hours after duel. It it was to be forego the tournament, but it apparently expected to attain simple PORRIDGE- CAUCHY. If one takes into account foregoing, then will become clear the reason for this khenka against KOKKAYA. Visualize - at the moment of tachi-ay it decides for the fraction of a seconds it will deviate from duel. It is clear that by the reason for this sudden solution could it will appear the pain, but not simple desire it is attained victory thus. You perfectly well know that it in nothing is inferior BY KOKKAYU, and ROKHO it would not become to deviate from duel. So passive a fight, which showed ROKHO in the duels with ASASHERYU, TOCHIADZUMA, KHAKUKHO - are also easy to explain by injury. I do not take to itself courage and further to discuss on the theme - "about which thought ROKHO, or that he felt". ROKHO should not have participated in this tournament, it only just more greatly traumatized itself. I think, tomorrow it must turn from further participation to tournament. Those of you, who is disposed against ROKHO, can remain with its opinion. By me moved the desire to explain situation, but not to come out as the attorney OF ROKHO.

Edit: Hmm. pretty good translation, all in all..

Babelfish didn't do too badly in this case. The "talocrural joint" referred to is apparently the technical name for the ankle joint. I suspect "PORRIDGE- CAUCHY" is how Babelfish rendered "kachikoshi". (comments from Fukurou below):

So Roho has been participating on a bad ankle, and having blood drained from it before and after his matches? Yikes, no wonder he's not been doing well!

Could you give some idea of how the "reliable sources" have this information? Are they friends of Roho, or former coaches, or people he is in contact with?

Oh, and regarding the translation, you're quite welcome (Nodding yes...)

Poor Roho... He should stop trying to do his kachikoshi (or porridge-cauchy (Chased by the fans...) ) and follow Hakuho. By the way, does anyone know Hakuho's diagnose?

Left ankle-one week recovery, so he may yet re-appear.

I don't miss Roho. (Chased by the fans...) He's a real trouble maker, and, there is enough without his "acting".

[Fukurou]

Left ankle-one week recovery, so he may yet re-appear.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Seven days to recover, as announced after day 10 of a 15 day tournament. He's definitely absent on day 11, so there's actually only 4 days left he could come back to.

Someone please explain why he should even consider trying to come back this basho? It's not like he needs a win or two for kachikoshi - he's already makekoshi, or will be after Wednesday.

He's been hobbling on this since Day 4 (day 11 makes it a week-old injury already), or, according to Ossetian Yokozuna's information, since before the basho even began. There's a good chance he's already made the original injury worse by trying to participate on it (and even if he hasn't, trying to come back early could make it worse too).

I think the smart thing would be to stay away, take the demotion, try to get proper treatment, and come back healthy in September.

Pardon me! That's what I get for reading the subject line and skimming the quote-backs! (Chased by the fans...)

OK then, does anyone think Roho is going to try to come back, or is he going to stay out (still nothing about him going kyujo on the NSK site, but it's something like 2A.M. in Japan as I type this)

I'm pretty sure there is now way he's coming back this time. But I haven't read anything about it anywhere.

[Ossetian Yokozuna]

It is exactly now that ROHO going kyujo.
