Tochi falls at New Year sumo
TOKYO, Japan - Ozeki Tochiazuma (L) is tossed to a shock second defeat at the hands of crowd favorite Takamisakari on the ninth day of the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan on Jan. 19. Tochiazuma, who needs at least 13 wins to be considered for promotion to sumo's ultimate rank, slipped to 7-2 and has all but lost hope of becoming the first Japanese wrestler in six years to be promoted to yokozuna.
