Hakuho wins 2nd straight title, secures yokozuna promotion

TOKYO, Japan - Hakuho returns triumphantly to his sumo stable in Tokyo on May 26 after he clinched his second consecutive title at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament with a victory of fellow ozeki Chiyotaikai, chalking up an unbeatable three-match lead with one day remaining in the 15-day meet. The feat all but secured his promotion to grand champion, the second Mongolian at the top. Currently, there is no Japanese grand champion in the traditional Japanese sport. (Kyodo)
