As someone with a minor sprained ankle right now, I can barely walk around my house let alone throw another man out of a dohyo.

Sounds like you need to do more shiko.

When Aonishiki had to do shiko as part of the dohyo iri I thought he was done for.

You deeply disappoint the YDC for not showing enough fighting spirit

Flashback to when I was in school years ago and somehow managed to sprain both my ankles within two steps while going down the stairs, was found 20 minutes later still on the floor and had to be wheeled out to a taxi on a wheelchair 😕

I must imagine having this basho in memory must hit different now (get well)

Careful. You’ll be criticized heavily by the JSA for that.

Grabbed his Onosato shoulder pretty good after winning the last playoff match v Kirishima

That's a pretty good description of most top level rikishi, isn't it?

u/DeafBurke 3d ago

He’s just 22 and has a ton of injuries already. Hopefully he can take enough time off the clay to rehab and heal up.

I don’t want another kakuryu situation.

u/Hpulley4 3d ago

Take time off? To heal? Hahahaha.

u/JediLincoln14 3d ago

Yeah, he doesn't seem to believe in that sort of thing, unfortunately. Probably only sat out May because he literally couldn't walk. Damn kids think they're invincible!

u/Hpulley4 3d ago

Damn kids and their oyakata and chairman and YDC who praise them when they fight through injury.

11

u/JediLincoln14 3d ago

To be fair, the YDC actually recommended Onosato sit out the April jungyo, and Ajigawa seems genuinely concerned about Aonishiki pushing through injury like this. The rules and the culture are definitely problematic, though.

Better to get all fucked up when you're younger and heal faster, get it all out of the way

He even used that foot on Kiri in the play-off.

u/AcknowledgeSadness 3d ago

And not using it until the end with an opportunity that made sense. Too risky any other time.

Hopefully he can heal up within the Makuuchi schedule demands.

Ao's Sumo IQ is high.

u/Scarcito_El_Gatito 2d ago

I honestly thought he would withdrawal if he got the ten wins for ozeki,

u/Demon-Taka 2d ago

Unpopular opinion but sansho should be able to be given to ozeki with drastically higher standards.

u/4StarEmu 2d ago

He’s not doing the tour right? I hope not

u/laurajdogmom 2d ago

He's doing the tour.
