15 days of the spectators What Yokozuna Hakuho looked like

"It was difficult to get motivated, but it's a property that won this place."

Hakuho Yokozuna, who ruled an unusual spring place without attending the audience, was affected by the spread of the new coronavirus.

A ring wrapped in silence

A "sumo wrestling" that continued to be "crowded bills" and was boiling everywhere.
However, there was no crowd in the spring place, and there was no ring in the ring, and there was no shouting or cheering at the end of the effort.

Hakuho Yokozuna, who has been in Yokozuna's seat for about 13 years and has won the most championships in a book place that no one has ever experienced, said, "It was a mysterious feeling more than I imagined. I was afraid to continue for 15 days. "

Struggling to keep motivation

In addition to the fear that the spring location would be canceled immediately after the virus infection of wrestlers was confirmed, suffering was maintaining motivation.

Hakuho was puzzled by the unique feeling and atmosphere of the venue, "I didn't know if it was a rehearsal room or a real place."

While continuing to play in an unstable mental state, when I was doing a daily routine to check my recorded actions, I felt suddenly.

I'm a sumo fan who supports me in front of TV. In addition to the audience, I couldn't go outside, and I couldn't see any fans who were natural and had no chance to interact with them.

Nevertheless, fans should be watching their efforts in front of the television as they have seen. Hakuho, who can't see him in front of him, but said, "Thousands of people should have seen it."

On the 11th, the day after the first defeat of the place, the first day with Kokatsu Kitakatsu Fuji, a sharp victory from a sharp rush.

"I have to pull myself," indicating a strong sense of responsibility to fulfill the role of Yokozuna for those who support us through television.

In Chiakiraku, the first battle between Yokozuna and Yokozuna for the first time in seven years, he won the 44th victory over Cruz Ryu, further increasing the record by one record.

The first person ""

Hakuho told NHK that night, "I am relieved to have finished." He said frankly, "I felt like I won two places and three places. What we have done is to use this experience for the rest of the sumo life. "

Hakuho has overcome various adversities, fears and anxieties of invisible virus infections, puzzlements to the audience.

However, the source of this adversity may have been an irreplaceable fan who would have been able to see Hakuho's eyes.
