Ah, for the good old days of Sumo Champ stability brought about by the
benevolent ruler Asashoryu! The title has become a veritable hot
potato since he was stripped of his title at the start of the basho.
By the Sumo Champ bylines, Sumo Champ Asashoryu, due to his, um,
inability to compete, surrendererd his title to the #2 rikishi Hakuho,
who promptly lost this title to Ama, who went on to lose the title in
his first defense against Kotooshu yesterday, who ended up losing to
first time Sumo Champ Tochinonada today!
Tochinonada becomes the first Maegashira wrestler to hold the Sumo
Champ title since Tokitenku lost it on Day 7 of the Natsu Basho. But
there's a good chance that the belt goes back to Sanyaku tomorrow, as
Hakuho gets yet another crack at the title.
