Asashoryu ZENSHO! (15-0!)
Final report from the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
 | Asashoryu won the tournament on day 14 and finished the job on day 15. 15 straight wins. His 4th undefeated tournament. His 4th championship in a row. His 12th championship in his career. He is (by the numbers, at least) one of the greatest Yokozunas of all time. (I'm sure they're debating the quality of his competition in Japan. It's definitely not as high as what Takanohana faced 10 years ago.) |
The runner-up was komusubi Kotomitsuki, who won his last 12 and finished 13-2. He also picked up the Technique Prize. And the talk has already begun about his chances of becoming an Ozeki.
Speaking of Ozekis, Tochiazuma lost on the last day to Asashoryu, but finished 12-3. Chiyotaikai limped in with 4 losses in a row, but his 10-5 record keeps him at Ozeki for another couple tournaments, at least.
Sekiwake Hakuho won 7 of 9 after a slow start, to end up 9-6. Now he can put together 2 great tournaments in the next 2 and get promoted to Ozeki.
Koto'oshu finished 10-5 and has a chance to get promoted to Komusubi next tournament.
Takamisakari finished 2-2, to get to 5 wins. Ama lost 4 of his last 6 to drop to 8-7. Kyokushuzan finished 2-2, but still ended up 12-3 and picked up a Fighting Spirit prize. And young wrestler Kotoshogiku won his last 8 to finish 10-5.
Turned out to be a pretty good tournament, but hopefully there will be a little more competition for Asashoryu in the next tournament in July.
