Ikioi (7-5) put up a spirited effort but Kisenosato dug deep into his energy reserves and came up with the goods to improve to 14-0 against his opponent and remain one win clear with three days of the 15-day basho remaining. Grand champion Hakuho and fellow Mongolians Ichinojo and Takanoiwa stayed one win back at 10-2. Hakuho, the most successful wrestler in sumo history with 37 career championship titles, wrapped up the day's action with an easy hikiotoshi hand pull down against No. 4 maegashira Tochiozan (3-9). Takanoiwa stayed in touch with Kisenosato with a blood-and-thunder win over Nishikigi (4-8), smashing him in the face at the charge and then dodging the No. 11 maegashira's swinging palm before forcing him over the bales. Thirteenth-ranked Ichinojo, a former sekiwake, got a fright in his bout against eighth-ranked Hokutofuji (8-4) but charged back from the ridge to belly him out for an ultimately comfortable win. But 10th-ranked Sokokurai (9-3) dropped out of the chasing pack as he was sent to his third defeat, sixth-ranked Chiyoshoma (6-6) putting the Chinese-born bruiser to the dirt with a pulling overarm throw. In other bouts, towering Mongolian ozeki Terunofuji was condemned to a majority of losses after being slapped down to an eighth defeat by fifth-ranked maegashira Takekaze (8-4). Goeido (8-4) then bit the dust in the following bout, the ozeki getting taken out by No. 4 maegashira Endo, who leveled his mark at 6-6. Kisenosato emerged as the only ozeki to survive unscathed as Kotoshogiku, surprise winner of this tournament in 2016, was barged out to a losing 4-8 record by sekiwake Tamawashi (7-5) in the day's second-to-last bout. Kotoshogiku's second straight losing mark means he will be demoted to sumo's third rank of sekiwake for the Spring tournament in March. Swami [/QUOTE]
