Asashoryu makes history with 7th straight title

FUKUOKA, Japan - Mongolian grand champion Asashoryu (L) defeats ozeki Kaio at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament on Nov. 26, becoming the first wrestler to capture seven Emperor's Cups in a row. The fiery Mongolian bounced back from a shock defeat to Kotooshu the previous day and coolly forced out Kaio before his eyes quickly welled up with tears after the penultimate-day win at Fukuoka Kokusai Center.
