So the person that lost made sure the other person didn't get disqualified? If so major kudos to them, I love sports that have people supporting each other.

No, the match had already been decided well before the photo, but I'm giving kudos to Ryuuden for consideration for the safety of the opponent who had just defeated him.

Falling off the raised dohyo, which is only used for competition, is a major source of injuries.
