Sekiwake Hoshoryu captured his first elite makuuchi-division championship after beating Hokutofuji in a playoff Sunday following a tournament in which 19-year-old Hakuoho grabbed much of the spotlight. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/07/23/sumo/basho-reports/hoshoryu-maiden-win-nagoya-basho/?utm_content=buffer58bc0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #hokutofuji #hoshoryu #hakuoho

Nineteen-year-old rookie sensation Hakuoho turned the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament title race on its head Saturday with a stunning win over sole overnight leader Hokutofuji. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/07/22/sumo/basho-reports/hakuoho-tie-for-lead-nagoya/?utm_content=buffer4cb06&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #hokutofuji #hakuoho

Hokutofuji rejoined his fellow rank-and-filer in pole position for the title after 12 days. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/07/20/sumo/basho-reports/shonannoumi-beats-nishikigi-nagoya/?utm_content=buffer356c8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #hokutofuji #nishikigi

The two remaining leaders both won thanks to slip-ups by their opponents on Day 10 at Dolphins Arena. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/07/18/sumo/basho-reports/nagoya-basho-day10-nishikigi-hokutofuji/?utm_content=buffer12424&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #hokutofuji #nishikigi #hoshoryu
