Do-or-die for Musashimaru at Kyushu sumo

FUKUOKA, Japan - Yokozuna Musashimaru practices at his stable in Munakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, on Nov. 7 in preparation for the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament opening on Nov. 9. After missing all or most of the last six tournaments due to a chronic wrist injury, the 32-year-old Samoan-born grand champion could need a miracle to regain the power he once wielded. (Kyodo)
