Advertiser Staff

Yokozuna Musashimaru (Fiamalu Penitani of Wai'anae) defeated Chiyotaikai today to remain tied for the lead at 12-2 with fellow grand champion Takano-hana at the September Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo.

The yokozuna will wrestle each other for the Emperor's Cup on the final day of the 15-day tournament.

Musashimaru pushed Chiyotaikai out of the ring after Chiyotaikai first avoided the ejection.

Takanohana defeated ozeki Kaio (11-3).
