Mongolian yokozuna Hakuho easily maintained his lead on Monday, the ninth day of the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament at Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium.
Hakuho holds a one-win led over ozeki Kotooshu and No. 12 maegashira Kaisei.
In the day's final match, Hakuho consigned sekiwake Goeido to his seventh defeat. The yokozuna absorbed his opponent's charge, seized a belt hold and spun him out of the ring in a pulling overarm throw.
