[QUOTE="Swami, post: 127979, member: 13"] Nagoya Day 14: Mitakeumi clinches Nagoya championship Details Written by Kyodo Category: [URL='http://www.cibersumo.com/en/sumo/history-and-data/press-room-news'][U]News[/U][/URL] Published: 21 July 2018 Hits: 15 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/otras/cronica_basho.jpg[/IMG] Sekiwake Mitakeumi secured his first top division title after maintaining his two-win lead by beating Tochiozan on Saturday, the penultimate day of the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament. Mitakeumi, who made his makuuchi division debut in November 2015, claimed his title-winning bout against No. 13 maegashira Tochiozan (9-5), a former sekiwake who had won just one of their previous six career meetings. As both wrestlers scrambled for a hold, it was Mitakeumi who first got a solid grip on Tochiozan's belt and wasted little time getting under his opponent's left shoulder and forcing him out. Mitakeumi's undefeated run was broken by ozeki Takayasu on Day 12 of the 15-day meet at Dolphins Arena, which has seen grand champions Hakuho, Kakuryu and Kisenosato, new ozeki Tochinoshin, and former ozeki Kotoshogiku all withdraw due to injuries. The win marks 22 victories for Mitakeumi during the last two tournaments, making an ozeki promotion a possibility in the near future. The 25-year-old will become the first Dewanoumi stable wrestler in 38 years to win a makuuchi title. He fights No. 9 Yutakayama on the final day. In other bouts, Yutakayama (11-3) quickly defeated ozeki Takayasu (9-5), while ozeki Goeido (9-5) succumbed to sekiwake Ichinojo (7-7). Both komusubi also suffered losses on Day 14 as No. 6 Chiyotairyu (9-5) charged out Tamawashi (8-6) and No. 4 Kagayaki (6-8) beat Shohozan (3-11), who will likely forfeit his rank for September's grand tournament after failing to secure a winning record. In the first half of bouts, Asanoyama earned an 11th win and his best-ever top division record since his makuuchi debut last September after beating No. 6 Endo (8-6). The No. 13 maegashira got his right shoulder under his popular opponent during the initial charge and quickly charged out Endo, who has won just one bout in his last six. Asanoyama, who along with Yutakayama was two wins off the pace going into Saturday's bouts, needed Mitakeumi to lose in order to remain in contention. Among other lower-ranked wrestlers, No. 5 Yoshikaze finally earned his first win by defeating No. 16 Meisei. The former sekiwake, who had lost 13 straight bouts, depleted his energy powering his opponent to the edge and depositing him over the straw. Swami [/QUOTE]
