WITHDRAWAL: Azumaryu (J14). Left knee injury suffered in yesterday’s loss. Status uncertain. If done for the tournament or more than a week, his long slow demotion out of the top 2 tiers this last year-plus after his first and only promotion in the top tier is now complete (I believe that was his last winning record). Shiden got the free win as a result.
