The three-way race for the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament title remained intact on Tuesday as each yokozuna improved to 10-0 and ozeki Kakuryu moved to 9-1 on the 10th day of competition at Bodymaker Colosseum.

Yokozuna Hakuho needed just 2.2 seconds to earn his 10th victory. The Mongolian upended struggling former ozeki Kotooshu with an overarm throw after they collided on the charge. Kotooshu, who is wrestling for the second time as a sekiwake following his demotion from the sport's No. 2 rank, fell to 1-9.

Yokozuna Harumafuji joined his compatriot at the top of the leaderboard with a frontal push out of Shohozan (4-6). Harumafuji nearly toppled the komusubi with his charge and then quickly mopped up to remain perfect in Osaka, although it took him 0.7 seconds longer than Hakuho to reach the finish line.
