NAGOYA, Japan >> Yokozuna Musashimaru beat Kaiho yesterday to improve to 6-1 at the Natsu Grand Sumo Tournament. Musashimaru wins again
Musashimaru, or Hawaii's Fiamalu Penitani, won by yoritaoshi (frontal crush out). Kaiho's loss to Musashimaru pulled their career series even at three apiece.
Asashoryu, Chiyotaikai and Takanonami won and are tied for first at 7-0.
Buyuzan beat Shimotori by oshidashi (frontal push out) to tie Musashimaru for second
Musashimaru faces fellow veteran Takanonami tomorrow. Takanonami has over 500 wins and has beaten Musashimaru 14 times.
Despite his unbeaten showing so far in this tournament, Takanonami's success came in the old days, as Musashimaru has not lost to him since becoming a yokozuna, a streak of eight.
Musashimaru is seeking the 12th tournament victory of his career and his third straight. He won the previous basho, the Summer Grand Tournament in May, with a 13-2 record.
