大関豪栄道の引退発表　年寄「武隈」を襲名―相撲協会

　日本相撲協会は２８日、大関豪栄道（３３）＝本名沢井豪太郎、大阪府出身、境川部屋＝の現役引退と年寄「武隈」襲名を発表した。２９日に記者会見する予定。今後は親方として後進の指導に当たる。
　かど番だった初場所で豪栄道は、足首のけがの影響もあって精彩を欠き５勝１０敗。来場所の関脇転落が決まっていた。優勝は１回で、大関在位３３場所は歴代１０位。
　地元の大阪で開催される３月の春場所で２桁白星を挙げれば、大関に復帰できるが、引退を決断した。（2020/01/28-11:36）

Sumo wrestler Goeido has retired to take on the role of a "toshiyori" elder at the Sakaigawa stable, the Japan Sumo Association said Tuesday.
   The 33-year-old wrestler with the second-highest rank of ozeki assumed the toshiyori name of Takekuma. He will focus on teaching younger wrestlers as a stablemaster.
   Goeido, whose real name is Gotaro Sawai, is expected to hold a press conference Wednesday.
   Injury-plagued Goeido competed in the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament as a demotion-threatened "kadoban" ozeki.
   After having five wins and 10 losses in the tournament, which closed Sunday, he was set to be demoted to sekiwake.
