Every match they miss, even if out for injury, counts as a loss. One of my old favs, Tochinochin, has had his knees just destroyed. He can hardly complete any more. I was hoping he’d get surgery during the COVID break but he didn’t.

Several of the new up-and-comers to this top division seem to be of a different body type. Less excess weight, more muscle, more trim and agile.
