On the 27th, the Japan Sumo Association held a ranking organization meeting to discuss the ranking of the autumn place of wrestlers who closed the Nagoya place due to the spread of the new corona infection.
Although Mr. Isegahama said that he had made a "fair decision," he did not mention individual treatment and expressed his intention to clarify it in the announcement of the ranking.
In the Nagoya area, wrestlers have been closed one after another due to the spread of infection, and more than 10 cars have been closed due to the suspension of the Kakuban Ozeki Mitakeumi and the Hiraku Tamawashi, which had been increasing their total consecutive appearances for more than 18 years. Sekitori was an unusual situation with 23 people, the largest number after the war.
On the 27th, the Japan Sumo Association held a numbering meeting in the autumn of September at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo to discuss the treatment of wrestlers.
After the meeting, Judge Isegahama said that he made a "fair decision" according to the news report, and for the wrestlers who had decided to win or lose at the time of the holiday, the ranking will be raised or lowered in consideration of the results. I showed my thoughts.
On that basis, he did not mention the treatment of individual wrestlers, but expressed his intention to clarify it in the ranking announcement on the 29th of next month.
In addition, he only stated that he could not answer at this point regarding Kakuban Ozeki Mitakeumi, who was closed due to 2 wins and 4 defeats.
Regarding the ranking of autumn places, the focus is on whether or not the ranking will be deferred for wrestlers who were closed before the winners and losers were decided.
Until now, the Japan Sumo Association has taken measures to keep the ranking unchanged or slightly lower it when wrestlers are closed due to the influence of the new corona.
