Quick Glance: Takerufuji Triumphs Despite Injury in Historic Sumo Victory
- The 24-year-old Takerufuji from Aomori Prefecture achieved an impressive record of 13-2 at Edion Arena Osaka, securing the title in the elite makuuchi division for the first time since 1914.
- He clinched his inaugural Emperor's Cup faster than any other competitor since the six annual grand tournaments calendar was adopted in 1958, following his official debut in September 2022.
- His triumph was accentuated by the challenge of competing with a severe ankle injury sustained during his defeat to Maegashira Asanoyama on Saturday, preventing him from sealing the title a day early.
- In recognition of his outstanding performance, Takerufuji received an Outstanding Performance Award, a Technique Prize, and a Fighting Spirit Prize. His path to victory included defeating multiple opponents from the three prestigious 'sanyaku' ranks below Yokozuna, including new Ozeki Kotonowaka and Sekiwake Wakamotoharu.
Takerufuji’s triumph is one for the ages: The Isegahama stable rookie arguably achieved one of most surprising sporting victories of all time.
