Daieisho remains undefeated at the New Year Basho (Day 8 results)

No. 1 maegashira Daieisho pulled out a victory with his back to the wall to improve to a perfect 8-0 on Sunday, the midway point of the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.

Having already defeated the seven wrestlers here ranked higher than him, Daieisho was pushed to the brink but managed to take a two-win lead into the final week of the 15-day tournament at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan.

Ozeki Shodai, who started the day one win back at 6-1, suffered his second loss in a long rollicking battle with komusubi Mitakeumi.

Daieisho’s opponent, No. 6 Kagayaki (3-5) used his longer arms to shove the tournament leader off balance. Kagayaki pursued his opponent to the straw and tried to shove him out, but Daieisho was prepared. He bent backward, pivoted to his left, and threw the charging Kagayaki out at the edge of the ring.
