A day after yokozuna Hakuho wrapped up the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament championship, 13th-ranked Aminshiki provided the final day's drama on Sunday.
Back in the elite makuuchi division for the first time in a year since he ruptured his left Achilles tendon on May 9, 2016, the 39-year-old secured a winning 8-7 mark by throwing down No. 6 Chiyoshoma (7-8) at Fukuoka Kokusai Center.
The oldest wrestler to re-earn admission to the makuuchi division, Aminishiki latched onto Chiyoshoma's belt as the two got to grips at mid-ring. Using his right overarm hold, Aminishiki spun the Mongolian around by the upper body until his legs could no longer keep him upright.
