スポーツ｜横綱・豊昇龍が休場、1勝3敗の苦境 / Sports | Yokozuna Hoshoryu takes a leave of absence, facing a tough situation with a record of 1 win and 3 losses.

Summary

Yokozuna Hoshoryu has been decided to withdraw from the Nagoya tournament starting on the fifth day.

He has been diagnosed with a left foot injury, requiring one month of rest and treatment. As a result, he will have to withdraw from two out of the three tournaments since becoming a new yokozuna, and his record stands at a disappointing one win and three losses. Coach Takanosho believes that Hoshoryu’s skills and mental strength have played a role in this situation, but he emphasizes that priority should be given to the recovery from the injury.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hōshōryū is out again! I wonder why he gets injured so often?
Log: Yeah, he’s got 1 win and 3 losses this tournament, so he’s in a pretty tough situation. It’s serious that he’s already had to withdraw twice since becoming a new yokozuna.
Chako: Really? That sounds really tough!
Navi: Being a yokozuna requires high skill and mental strength, but if you’re frequently injured, you might not be able to demonstrate that power. Especially for someone like him, a new yokozuna, the expectations are high.
Log: That’s true. I hope he recovers quickly to live up to those expectations.
Chako: Yeah, I really hope he does!

Admin’s Note

It seems that Hōshōryū’s withdrawal is influenced by the pressure of being a yokozuna and his injuries. The struggles he faces, especially as a newly appointed yokozuna, must be mentally challenging for him. As Log pointed out, being a yokozuna requires skill and mental strength, but the top priority right now should be to get his health back in order. I hope to see his return in the future.
