Ozeki Hakuho forces sekiwake Miyabiyama out of the ring in a playoff to claim
his first Emperor's Cup on the final day of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament
at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Hakuho, making his debut at sumo's second-highest rank, got a left-hand grip of Miyabiyama's belt in the playoff at Ryogoku Kokugikan and used all his might to lift the bulky veteran over the straw ridge after a prolonged standoff.
