That hasn't changed." The final decision will be made after taking into account the results of a thorough medical examination. This tournament is his first time being kadoban, and a makekoshi will send him to Sekiwake next Basho. Aonishiki fractured his left little toe last basho when he was aiming for Yokozuna, and had his first makekoshi in his 16th tournament since his professional debut. He resumed sumo training at the end of April and had been rapidly adjusting his training in preparation for this tournament, but then he injured his ankle as well during degeiko. On this day, no keiko and he focused on treatment.</span>
