It was cloudy.

I should have mentioned yesterday, but Yokozuna Hakuho (横綱 白鵬) became a champion at the first ground sumo championships of this year.
This was his 33rd victory, which is the best record in the sumo world.
What is more, he won 15 matches straight,which was the 11th total winning for him after 10 tournaments. Congratulations!!
There were 1625 prizes in this first tournament which was the most in history and for the last match between Hakuho and Kakuryu(鶴竜) there were 61 prizes which exceeded the maximum limit of 50.
He will be 30 years old in March.
So we can expect more new records will be made in the future.

The grand sumo tournament has begun after two tournaments. It is called shichigatsu basho (七月場所) or Nagoya basho (名古屋場所）. Basho means place. Shichigatsu means July. Nagoya is a name of place. Nagoya is the third biggest cities in Japan after Yokohama (横浜) and Osaka (大阪).

五月二十四日（gogatsu nijyuyokka）： May 24

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).
