Ozeki Goeido continued on course for a possible promotion to yokozuna with an easy win Wednesday, keeping him among four wrestlers with perfect records after four days at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.
Goeido carried the day against 23-year-old komusubi Mitakeumi with a terrific opening charge that swept the youngster back to the straw bales and over for a quick victory in the 15-day event at Fukuoka Kokusai Center.
A day after securing his 1,000th victory, yokozuna Hakuho (4-0) also had little time to sweat in a nearly effortless win over komusubi Tamawashi (2-2).
