Sumo-Another Post-March Retirement

An update to the March Grand Sumo Tournament wrap-up from a couple weeks ago: The widely expected happened today as Tsurugisho, who vowed to retire when he was next demoted from Juryo and thus losing his salary, did officially retire. He was at Juryo 12 in March but would be demoted to Makushita due to an 0-15 effort. This cane after he got married in January. Tsurugisho, real name Kentaro Abiko from Oitekaze Beya, finishes with a career record of 485-484-23 (win-loss-absent), 125-153-22 in the top tier, 5 championships (2 Juryo, 1 Makushita, 1 Jonidan, 1 Jonokuchi), 1 Special Prize (Fighting Spirit) and a career high rank of Maegashira 6. He qualifies for elder stock but Nikkan Sports reports he will leave sumo. A retirement presser and event will be held in June.
