Natsu basho (夏場所), 2010 May Ground Sumo Tournament has been held from May 9 to 23 at the Ryogoku Kokugikan (両国国技館) in Tokyo. Yokozuna Hakuho (横綱白鵬) took the top division championship with a 15-0 record for his 14th Makuuchi (幕内) division title. Since there was nobody but hakuho that did not lose any matches until 13th day, his victory was fixed without waiting for the last day. And this became his 6th complete victory. He has been winning for 32 matches since this January Ground Sumo Tournament.
Another big news in the sumo world is Ozeki Kaio (大関魁皇) made the 1000 wins yesterday which is the 2nd most winning records in history. The best record is 1045 wins made by ex-Yokozuna Chiyonofuji (横綱千代の富士).
Congratulations!
