Hakuho owns longest postwar wins
|
|
Mongolian yokozuna Hakuho made history Sept. 18, becoming the only wrestler in postwar Japan to win 54 consecutive bouts, putting him past former yokozuna great Chiyonofuji (53) on the seventh day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament. In the day's finale, Hakuho absorbed a hard charge from Kisenosato, slipping slightly on the dirt before recovering nicely. (Kyodo News)
