Ozeki Takakeisho and sekiwake Shodai earned their ninth wins at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday and remain in a four-way tie for the lead.
With four days remaining in the 15-day tournament, the two upper-ranked wrestlers are even with a pair of up-and-comers, No. 8 maegashira Wakatakakage and No. 14 Tobizaru, who also retained their share of first place.
Ozeki Asanoyama and No. 1 Terunofuji each secured winning records on Day 11 at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan to stay in contention for the Emperor’s Cup.
In the day’s penultimate bout, Takakeisho strong-armed No. 5 Takarafuji (6-5) to the edge and shoved him off the raised ring before being pulled down.
