Juryo Tsurugishou ends the basho with a 0-15 record at Juryo 12. This is
the first time in about six years that a Juryo rikishi has lost all their
matches since Fujiazuma at the 2020 Kyushu basho. For a Sekitori, it's the
first time in about four years since Terutsuyoshi at the 2022 Kyushu basho
that a rikishi in Makuuchi lost all their matches. Tsurugishou reflected on
the 15 days, saying, "It was long. I think it was the longest I've ever
experienced." He was not feeling well in his left knee, and was also
experiencing
pain in his right ankle and his back, preventing him from performing at his
best. He is certain to be demoted to Makushita in the next basho. Regarding
his future, he said, "I haven't decided 100% that I'm going to retire. I'll
think about it slowly after the basho is over. Maybe I'll even compete in
the next basho." He got married in January and said, "I want some emotional
healing soon. I want to go home soon. I want to see my wife and my dog."
