As first mooted in the my last post, Yokozuna Terunofuji won on Day 14 to take the Emporor's Cup for the 8th time. Coming back from serious injury and surgery on both knees,  it is quite an achievement for the tough Mongolian. How much longer he will last is anyone's guess, though a little while ago his oyakata (stable master) noted that his knees were 'a ticking time-bomb.'

Congratulations are also in order for Kiribayama who has achieved ozeki promotion, a much needed addition to an important rank. Now that Takakeisho has a 'partner', maybe some of the pressure that he doubtless feels will drop off him and he can focus on ozeki sumo.
