Sumo: Kayo hones his opening charges whilst Hoshoryu recovers from knee surgery
Le yokozuna Hoshoryu a profité de ses examens médicaux au Kokugikan (photo) pour donner de ses nouvelles : il a révélé avoir subi une opération du genou fin juillet.
Blessé lors de la sixième journée du tournoi de Nagoya face à Hakunofuji, le mongol avait serré les dents pendant une semaine avant d'abandonner la compétition au quatorzième jour, juste avant son combat contre Kirishima.
Rentré d'urgence à Tokyo après le dîner de clôture de la Tatsunami-beya le dimanche 26-7, il avait été averti par les médecins qu'une convalescence sans chirurgie nécessiterait plus d'un an. Sorti de l'hôpital début août, il poursuit sa remise en forme à domicile en se focalisant sur le renforcement du haut du corps.
De son côté, Kayo (Juryo 12, écurie Nakamura) concentre actuellement ses entraînements sur le tachi-ai. Il travaille intensément avec son oyakata, qui a remis le mawashi pour l'occasion. Le rikishi vient tout juste de rentrer d'Okinawa, sa ville natale, où il a pu se ressourcer en famille pendant ses vacances.

The yokozuna Hoshoryu took advantage of his medical examinations at the Kokugikan (photo) to give an update on his condition: he revealed that he had undergone knee surgery at the end of July.
Injured on the sixth day of the Nagoya tournament whilst facing Hakunofuji, The Mongolian had gritted his teeth for a week before withdrawing from the competition on the fourteenth day, just before his bout against Kirishima.
Having returned to Tokyo in a hurry after the Tatsunami-beya closing dinner on Sunday, July 26, he had been warned by doctors that recovery without surgery would take more than a year. Discharged from hospital in early August, he is continuing his rehabilitation at home, focusing on strengthening his upper body.
For his part, Kayo (Juryo 12, Nakamura stable) is currently focusing his training on the tachi-ai. He is training intensively with his oyakata, who has put on again the mawashi for the occasion. The rikishi has just returned from Okinawa, his hometown, where he was able to "recharge his batteries" with his family during holidays.
