Enho Akira was defeated on suspicion of concussion in the Juryo efforts of the Grand Sumo Tournament Nagoya.
The Japan Sumo Association has changed the refereeing rules so that if it is judged to be in a dangerous state before the witness is established, it can be considered as a bye, and it was applied for the first time in more than 10 dohyo.
On the second day of the Nagoya place, Juryo Enho was retaken in the same body in the match against Takagenji Satoshi.
However, when the referee under the ring returned to the ring, Enho stopped the effort after seeing the situation.
After discussions with the referees, Judge Takadagawa explained to the venue that "Enho Akira could not take action due to a concussion, and Takagenji Satoshi would win," and the defeat of Enho was decided.
In January, the Sumo Association issued a referee rule so that if a wrestler is judged to be in a dangerous situation due to a concussion before the wrestlers are established, he will not be able to wrestle and will be defeated. I made some changes.
Judge Takadagawa told reporters, "I thought it was dangerous because I had a concussion because I saw it. My eyes weren't focused. I said he was okay, but I can't let him take it." I explained.
This is the first time that this changed refereeing rule has been applied in more than a dozen efforts.
