>The Utsunomiya conference is over. It was the third time it was held this year, I believe. Yesterday, Saki Kashima was sent back to Tokyo because of pain in the injured area. Anyone who complains of pain, even temporarily, is given time off from the tournament. In the past, players used to play matches with their injuries on full display, but now they are allowed to rest and concentrate on treatment. It is hard to get through this with an emphasis on maintenance.
