Down you go: Harumafuji outmuscles Gagamaru on Saturday in the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan. KYODOHarumafuji, aiming for back-to-back titles after winning the Nagoya Basho without a single loss, was given a run for his money by his Georgian opponent at Ryogoku Kokugikan, but he showed good technique as he broke up a mid-ring stalemate and got both arms around the No. 2 maegashira to beat him with a "shitatenage" underarm throw. Gagamaru dropped to 2-5.Aiming for a move up to the top of the sumo ladder for the third time, Harumafuji shares the lead with yokozuna Hakuho, ozeki Kisenosato and maegashira pair Kyokutenho and Takayasu.Harumafuji is one of only three ozeki still fighting in the 15-day basho after Estonian Baruto, Kotoshogiku and Bulgarian Kotooshu all pulled out earlier in the week through injury.Hakuho wrapped up the day's action in style, slapping down Homasho to stay unbeaten in 14 matches against the No. 3 maegashira.Kisenosato shrugged off a series of neck thrusts from Aoiyama and showed poise and composure in barging out the winless Bulgarian komusubi for a well-earned victory.Meanwhile, Kyokutenho showed no signs of letting up, the 38-year-old Mongolian getting a firm one-handed grip on the back of Daido's belt and working him over the straw ridge. Takayasu, a No. 9 maegashira, stayed in the leading pack with a force-out win over 14th-ranked Asahisho (5-2).Kyokutenho is looking to show his stunning championship victory in May was no fluke. He went 12-3 en route to the title at the summer meet but had to wait until the penultimate day of the Nagoya Basho to pick up his first win in a disastrous 2-13 effort in July.Mongolian ozeki Kakuryu emerged victorious from an entertaining slugfest against top-ranked Shohozan (2-5) and is tied for second at 6-1 with Okinoumi, Myogiryu and Aminishiki.On a good day for sekiwake wrestlers, Goeido (4-3) piled more misery on Russian maegashira Aran by crushing him out to a seventh straight loss and Myogiryu completed a winning double for sumo's third-highest rank by defeating Brazilian-born Kaisei (3-4).

Baruto remains on course for promotion
OSAKA — Estonian behemoth Baruto stayed in the hunt for promotion to sumo's top rank of yokozuna with a routine defeat of winless Kyokutenho on Friday, the sixth day of action at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.The former nightclub bouncer was never in any danger in the day's next-to-last bout at Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, getting both arms around the Mongolian and spinning him around and down with a "shitatenage" underam throw to sit one win behind lone yokozuna Hakuho.Hakuho, seeking his 22nd title, remained undefeated alongside in-form sekiwake Kakuryu as he wrapped up the day's action with a hard-fought win over No. 2 maegashira Yoshikaze.Hakuho looked in all sorts of trouble as he was twice driven up against the ring's edge, but the yokozuna's pedigree eventually proved the difference as he sent Yoshikaze (1-5) packing with an armlock throw.Baruto and fellow ozeki Kotooshu are among a group of six wrestlers at 5-1.Mongolian trickster Kakuryu, who stunned Baruto on Wednesday, showed nifty footwork to draw in Tochiozan (3-3) and slap the komsubi down to stay tied at the top as the first week of the basho draws to a close.Ozeki Kotoshogiku cemented his place among the chasing pack by dismantling Myogiru with a frontal push down, sentencing the No. 1 maegashira to his fifth defeat of the tourney.Kotooshu claimed European bragging rights in a meeting with Georgian komusubi Gagamaru (0-6), the Bulgarian prevailing with a textbook overarm throw. Kisenosato (3-3) followed suit in the next bout, the Naruto stable star rebounding from Thursday's defeat with a shove that forced Aminishiki (3-3) to lose his footing and step over the straw ridge.Harumafuji repeatedly thwarted Tochinoshin (1-5) and countered to tip the Georgian No. 3 maegashira over with a hooking inner thigh throw to stay in touch with the front-running duo.
