| Yokozuna Kisenosato Walks Near Nagoya Station |
The Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament begins tomorrow and one question has been lingering, is Kisenosato healthy enough to compete?
Yokozuna Kisenosato, who
missed the last five days of the summer tournament in May due to chest
and arm muscle injuries, will compete in the upcoming Nagoya Tournament, his stablemaster Tagonoura said yesterday.
The 31-year-old grand champion’s participation tomorrow through the 23rd in the tournament at Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium had been in question
after he lost to lower-ranked wrestlers and skipped a few training
sessions since arriving in Nagoya late last month.
Though still in rehab phase, his stablemaster said he
confirmed with Kisenosato on Thursday morning that his fitness level is
up to par and believes the yokozuna knows best the weight of his
responsibilities.
