Sekiwake Wakatakakage  who is aiming to solidify his position for promotion
to Ozeki at the Nagoya basho , underwent a medical examination at a
hospital today. On the 1st, he went to Sadogatake beya in Nagoya City for
training along with his older brother, Wakamotoharu  and newcomer to
Makuuchi, Daiseizan . He participated in keiko with 11 other rikishi he
faced, and left the dohyo shaking his neck slightly. After that, he
repeatedly showed signs of being concerned about his left thigh and left
the keiko-ba without participating in any further bouts. According to
Arashio Oyakata  he did not come down to the keiko-ba for the second
consecutive day, going to a hospital for a checkup. "He complained of pain
in his left thigh and is being examined at the hospital. We don't have all
the details yet, so we'll talk to him next Monday or Tuesday," he
explained. It is unusual for a rikishi to miss training for two consecutive
days before a tournament that should be crucial for solidifying his
position for promotion to Ozeki. The rikishi to watch at Nagoya may not
only be failing to solidify his position, but his participation may even be
in doubt.
