New opening Shosaru Enjoyed autumn place more than anyone September 28, 1:34
"Sho Monkey".
Was there anyone who could have predicted that this strangely-named new Makuuchi wrestler would compete for the championship until Chiakiraku in the autumn place?
As the name suggests, the vibrant sumo wrestling that strips the white stars from the tsuwamono in the Makuuchi reminds us of the fun of sumo wrestling.
Pride as a small soldier
"I want to have a sumo wrestling that will entertain the audience. I'm small, so if I win, I'll be excited about the venue."
Just before the fall, Shosaru said with a smile.
He is 1 meter 75 cm tall and weighs 131 kg.
He is one of the so-called "small soldiers" who is 25 kg lighter than the average in Makuuchi.
It was a heavy burden to fight in the sumo wrestling, and I was constantly injured by tearing the ligaments of my knees and hurting my ankles.
However, when I asked Masaya about his burden as a small soldier, he made a clear statement.
"I can't make excuses because I'm a small soldier anymore." In the
current Makuuchi, small soldiers such as Enho Akira, who weighs 92 kg, and Terutsuyoshi, who weighs 114 kg, raise white stars with skill and speed, and the venue is excited. ..
I felt that I could see my pride as a small soldier, saying, "I want to be one of the wrestlers who excite such an audience."
Thoughts in Shikona
That feeling is also included in the name "Shikona".
"Monkeys have a fast image, so I want to take a fast sumo wrestling so that I can play with the other person.
" The word "monkey" was added to "sho" in "Daishoyama".
The sumo wrestlers with this strange name showed in the Makuuchi for the first time, and the expression "to play with" the wrestlers was just right.
"I want to entertain the viewer"
At one point, I hit it from the front and attacked at once.
At one point, I don't want to take the plunge while looking at the other person calmly.
I pulled the Mawashi and showed a vivid throw.
I noticed that Shosaru, who moves one after another and attacks if the other party shows even a little chance, is excited about what he will do next.
There is another reason for Shosaru's desire to entertain the viewer.
While people in the world were feeling obstructed and anxious due to the effects of the new coronavirus, I kept thinking about what I could do.
This is reflected in the new and vivid "blue tightening" at the current location.
"Blue" is considered to be a color that shows gratitude to medical professionals worldwide, and efforts are being made to light up buildings in blue in various parts of the country.
Even in sumo wrestling, the summer place in May was canceled, and there was a sad event that an infected wrestler died.
It seemed
that the desire
to "encourage many people because of this world"
was supporting the sumo wrestling of Shozaru in the current location.
Of course, that's not the only reason for the breakthrough.
Shozaru's sumo is based on hitting the opponent firmly.
Because the strength of the lower half of the body has become stronger than the opponent's body, the offensive that moves around with its own motor nerves lives.
The master's pursuit master said, "For the past year and a half, I've been working all the time when I got down to the rehearsal hall. The most important thing I can say is that I should do it without losing my strength. That's what helps me. I wonder if it was, "he said, praising the steady efforts of his disciples.
“Exciting than nervous”
In fact, it may have been Shozaru himself who enjoyed sumo more than anyone else.
Even in the battle for the championship, I didn't feel the pressure, "I'm more excited than nervous."
On the 14th day, I was impressed by the radiant smile after defeating Takakeishō Ozeki, who was the first to conclude for the first time.
I think the phrase "how much my strength works. It was fun" was the real intention.
Chiakiraku lost to Shodai Naoya, who won the championship, but he pushed the next Ozeki one step further and said, "Maybe it was the most fun in my life as a sumo wrestler."
And the word I continued was "I want to have more fun sumo wrestling."
Masaya's posture did not change until the end.
In the first Makuuchi, he won 11 wins and 4 losses, and won the fighting award for his imposing results.
It reminded us of the joy of seeing sumo.
Expectations are only rising that the place of arrival will make a leap forward.
