[QUOTE="Swami, post: 191709, member: 13"] Kyushu Day 11: Hakuho moves closer to record-extending 43rd title Details Written by Kyodo Published: 20 November 2019 Hits: 30 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Hakuho20.jpg[/IMG] The Mongolia-born grand champion maintained his outright lead, improving to 10-1 as he forced out the No. 5 maegashira Ryuden in the final bout of Day 11 at Fukuoka Kokusai Center. Eschewing his trademark face slap, Hakuho immediately took Ryuden's belt with his left hand and maneuvered him back toward the edge while securing a double outside grip. From there, Ryuden (4-7) was powerless to stop the all-time championship record holder from forcing him over the straw. Komusubi Asanoyama remained Hakuho's closest rival at the 15-day tournament, improving to 9-2 against No. 3 Takarafuji (4-7). The winner of the Summer Grand Tournament opened with a hard charge and maintained his momentum, easily shoving Takarafuji out despite being denied a belt hold. The lone competing ozeki, Takakeisho, claimed a winning record and retained an outside chance for the title with an easy push-out victory over No. 5 Aoiyama. The 23-year-old powerhouse improved to 8-3 as he quickly overwhelmed Bulgarian-born Aoiyama (5-6) with a pushing and thrusting attack. Sekiwake Mitakeumi saw his hopes of an ozeki promotion take another hit following a force-out loss to komusubi Endo. Mitakeumi (5-6) had the momentum in the initial collision but Endo (5-6) countered with a shallow grip, holding his ground before using his leverage to drive out the two-time tournament winner. Komusubi Abi fell to 6-5, succumbing to a slap down against No. 1 Okinoumi (5-6). Okinoumi shoved Abi off balance at the jump, then knocked the komusubi down before he had a chance to launch his favored thrusting attack. Komusubi Hokutofuji (4-7) moved to the brink of a losing record after dropping a hard-fought bought against No. 2 Myogiryu (5-6). Hokutofuji went in straight and hard, knocking Myogiryu back to the edge, but the 33-year-old veteran kept his composure and resisted a second force out attempt before battling back to the center and thrusting the komusubi down. No. 10 Shodai (8-3), who was unbeaten through Day 4, secured a winning record by dumping out No. 8 Sadanoumi (6-5). No. 13 Kagayaki (8-3) also captured an all-important eighth victory, pushing out No. 7 Tsurugisho (5-6) to ensure his first winning record in four tournaments. Swami [/QUOTE]
