Ukrainian Maegashira 1E Aonishiki, who was in the running for the yusho
until the final day of Nagoya, revealed that he had hurt his left shoulder
during the basho. He showed his strength in keiko against Makushita and
lower division opponents during the summer jungyo Gifu tour yesterday (when
keiko started between  Makuuchi rikishi), but did not participate in keiko
matches between the sekitori  After keiko, tour director Sakaigawa Oyakata
who was watching ringside, called Aonishiki over to ask about his
condition. "I asked him why he wasn't practicing, and he said, 'My shoulder
hurts,'" he explained. Aonishiki himself said, "I'll start keiko soon. I
hurt my shoulder during the basho." The summer Jungyo will visit 24
locations over 26 days. Since there is still time until Aki Basho (starting
September 14th at the Ryogoku Kokugikan), it appears he will be preparing
himself whilst keeping an eye on the state of the injured area.
