Mongolian yokozuna Hakuho tipped over ozeki newbie Kotoshogiku to zero in on his 21st Emperor's Cup on Thursday, while Kisenosato snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to get his promotion campaign back on track at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.
Hakuho silenced a boisterous home crowd rooting for Fukuoka-born Kotoshogiku, weathering a hard charge before countering to send the ozeki sprawling with a perfectly executed armlock throw. (Japan Times)
