SUMO

TOKYO — Harumafuji defeated grand champion Hakuho in an all-Mongolian playoff on Sunday to win his first Emperor's Cup on the final day of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament.

Harumafuji, who was promoted to sumo's second highest rank of ozeki last year, defeated Kotooshu of Bulgaria in his final bout of regulation to improve to 14-1. He then faced Hakuho in an extra deciding bout after the grand champion defeated Asashoryu of Mongolia to finish with the same record.

"I just tried to stay focused on my style of sumo," Harumafuji said after receiving the Emperor's Cup from Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso.
