  • Has Sawaisamu Retired?

    From Louis Epstein@24:150/2 to rec.sport.sumo on Wed Dec 23 23:47:22 2020
    Sawaisamu,who holds the record for most basho in jonokuchi,
    was 0-1-6 in November and appears absent from the new banzuke.
    He's 43 so may have retired but did he do so or is he now
    banzuke-gai?

    28 years in sumo and a career high rank of jonidan 53
    six years ago.

    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    Apparently he is listed as banzuke-gai.
