Sumo - Natsu Basho 2018, Update - day 11

in sumo •  7 years ago  (edited)

Tochinoshin is still the sole leader as he is the only one who is unbeaten after day 11.
Both Yokozuna, Hakuho and Kakuryuu recorded their 10th wins and are trailing Tochinoshin by 1 point.
Tomorrow is the day 12 and Tochinoshin will fight Hakuho. Maybe this will be the decider of the championship. If Tochinoshin wins, he will extend his lead over the tournament's favorite Yokozuna. If Hakuho wins, he will be the leader and Tochi trail him.

Leaders after day 11 are:

  1. Tochinoshin : 11-0
  2. Hakuho; Kakuryuu : both 10-1
  3. Kyokutaisei; Nishikigi; Ikioi; Chiyonokuni : all 8-3

With 11 wins on this basho Tochinoshin made his 35th win on 3 consecutive basho and 3 double digit wins in a row. This means he is going to fight as Ozeki on the next basho.

5 more days are ahead. Should Tochinoshin continue his magnificent run? We shall see.

Tomorrow is the clash of the titans - Tochinoshin vs Hakuho.
