Two days after clinching his 14th career Emperor's Cup, yokozuna Hakuho concluded his campaign with a perfect 15-0 record for the second consecutive meet on the final day of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday.
Hakuho defeated ozeki Harumafuji, extending his winning streak to 32 bouts, and along with his bright gold mawashi that was the trademark of former yokozuna Wajima began a new golden era of dominance as the lone grand champion.
"Like I thought, this is really a fantastic feeling," said Hakuho of his sixth undefeated title victory. "But I have to apologize to the fans for clinching the title so quickly. It's a little unfortunate that the other wrestlers couldn't contend but at the same time I had so much to focus on myself."
