Ama posts 12 wins at Kyushu sumo

FUKUOKA, Japan - Promotion-chasing sekiwake Ama (L) outclasses ozeki Kotomitsuki, efficiently taking down the ozeki with a textbook underarm throw at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka on Nov. 22. Ama is virtually assured of promotion to ozeki as he has now exceeded 33 wins in three consecutive tournaments -- a rough guideline to gain promotion to sumo's second-highest rank.
