First victory of sumo wrestling "I want to devote myself" to promotion to Ozeki, September 28, 11:50
Masayo Sekiwake, who won the first victory at Sumo Autumn Basho, met at the dawn of the night and talked about Ozeki, who is sure to be promoted, saying, "I will take responsibility in a position that I can not lose more than ever. I want to devote myself." Did.
In the autumn place, in the absence of Yokozuna, Sekiwake and Masayo defeated both Asanoyama and Takakeishō Ozeki in a pressure sumo wrestler and won the championship for the first time as a wrestler from Kumamoto prefecture with a good result of 13 wins and 2 losses.
On the 28th, one night after Chiakiraku, Masayo met online and said, "I feel like I'm a little free from tension. I realized that I won the championship because of the reactions around me and the contacts from various people." I talked about my feelings.
Regarding the success of the place now, "I concentrated on taking the sumo wrestling that came out in front. I am honored to be the first wrestler in Kumamoto Prefecture. I think I was able to give back with the support of many people." I looked back.
After returning to Sekiwake, Masayo won 8 wins in the spring place in March and 11 wins in the July place, and the total number of winning stars in the last 3 places was "32" including 13 wins in the autumn place. ..
Although it did not reach the winning star "33" in the last three places, which is the guideline for promotion to Ozeki, the Japan Sumo Association evaluated that it "always has the ability to participate in the battle for victory" and then made a temporary move toward promotion to Ozeki on the 30th. We have decided to hold a board meeting, and we are sure that we will be promoted to Ozeki.
When asked about Ozeki's ranking, Masayo vowed to play an active role, saying, "I am in a position that I can't lose more than ever, and I also have responsibility. I want to review myself and devote myself."
