Sentoryu's heya

[Richard Webb <webb@phys3.physics.wsu.edu>]

Just thought I would clear up what heya Sentoryu hails from.  It
was reported here that he was in the same heya as Musoyama
(Musashigawa-beya).  He is actually in the same heya as Kaio
(Tomozuna-beya).  According to the Sumo World article on Sentoryu a
few basho ago, he was previously close to promotion to juryo, but
then he re-injured his knee and had to sit out a few basho.

Speaking of injuries, I think I have found the biggest freak injury
of all.  Konishiki had one of his early opportunities for promotion
to Ozeki quashed when his bath stool collapsed under his weight,
thereby causing injuries which forced him to miss a basho.  That's
not your everyday injury!  OUCH!

Later,
