Ontake Sea "I'm not ashamed as Shin -Ozeki" After the first place, Corona infection ... "I'm in good physical condition"

The ranking of the Grand Sumo Spring Tournament, which will open on March 13th, was announced on the 28th, and Mitakeumi from Agematsu Town, Nagano Prefecture became the western ozeki. "First, I want to aim for a double-digit win," he said enthusiastically.

On the 28th, the Japan Sumo Association announced the ranking of the spring tournament, with Mitakeumi becoming the western Ozeki. Mitakeumi, who faced the previous place as a sekiwake, won the championship for the third time with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses, and was promoted to Ozeki. The birth of Ozeki from Nagano Prefecture is the first achievement in 227 years since Raiden in the Edo period.

Ontake Kaiseki (28th): "I feel a different sense of responsibility as an Ozeki ranked on the rankings. I want to leave a record that is not embarrassing so that I can fully meet the expectations of the new Ozeki."

After the first place, Mitakeumi was infected with the new corona and was recuperating. After that, he recovered and resumed training around February 12th.

Mitake Kaiseki: "(Physical condition) is perfect. First of all, if you don't get double digits (win), you won't be able to talk about it as an ozeki."

The Spring Grand Sumo Tournament will be held in Osaka, and will open on March 13th.
