[QUOTE="Swami, post: 149432, member: 13"] Hatsu Day 15: Tamawashi secures first title by beating Endo on final day Details Written by Kyodo Published: 27 January 2019 Hits: 44 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Tamawashi_yusho_Hatsu19.jpg[/IMG] Sekiwake Tamawashi became the second-oldest wrestler in sumo’s current format to secure his maiden championship, winning the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday, the tourney’s 15th and final day. The 34-year-old Mongolian wrapped up his triumph with his 13th victory, beating No. 9 maegashira Endo (10-5) for the 10th time in 16 career bouts. Tamawashi had entered the day with a one-win lead over 22-year-old Takakeisho, who had won his maiden championship in November. Tamawashi made quick work of Endo, receiving his charge, pushing him up, throwing him off balance with a couple of full-blooded shoves and then casting him down. The oldest wrestler to win his first championship since sumo went to six grand tournaments a year in 1958 was his compatriot Kyokutenho, who secured his lone title as a No. 7 maegashira in May 2012 as a 37-year-old. With the title in his hands, Tamawashi sat by ringside, where he continually wiped at his eyes while the final bouts were fought. The victory was cause for double celebration as Tamawashi’s wife gave birth to a son earlier in the day. With a second straight championship out of reach, Takakeisho (11-4) faced ozeki Goeido (9-6) in the tournament’s final bout. He was run out of the ring in a heartbeat, carried out by the ozeki’s charge in 1.9 seconds. Although Takakeisho met one standard for ozeki promotion, 33 wins over three grand tournaments, his poor performance on the final day, and his 9-6 record in September have put his promotion on hold.
