Tuesday May 12th 1981
Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
The audience felt the impact of two sumo wrestlers hitting the floor but only Kotetsuyama felt the snap of his leg as it buckled under him when Sadanoumi landed on top of him.. The injury will see him miss the rest of this tournament as well as the Nagoya in two months time. The same fate befalls Wakanohana who had just won his third match of the Natsu but suffered a severe muscle tear in the process.
Like the unfortunate Kotetsuyama, Hoo also lost his first match of the basho in a battle of the unbeaten, Kotochitose winning to stay in the group of ten that stays perfect.
