Komusubi Kirishima went to Arashio-beya today for degeiko and had 22 bouts
against Sekiwake Daieishou, and Maegashira 1 Wakamotoharu, getting 17 wins
and 5 losses. The former Ozeki, who returned to the sanyaku ranks for the
first time in two tournaments, suffered an injury. He hurt his right hip
when he was pushed out during a bout with Daieishou. With a grim expression
and dragging his leg, he said, "I'll go to the hospital and see how it
goes. If it's okay, I'll be back for another training session." After
arriving in Osaka, his old neck injury returned as well. He had just
resumed full-scale training at the Tokitsukaze Ichimon rengo-keiko  held at
Otowayama stable in Higashi-ku, Sakai City the day before. He also fought
with some taping around his right shoulder, but showed good footwork and
tenacity when pushed back to the edge of the dohyo. "I'm hitting well
sometimes, but I still have a long way to go," he said. Last tournament, he
won the Fighting Spirit Award with an 11-4 record. He is the ninth former
Ozeki to win one of the three awards since Takayasu at the Kyushu
tournament in 2010, and the first time he has won one of the three awards
since the summer tournament in 2011, when he was promoted to Ozeki.
