Atamifuji defeats Ozeki Kotozakura and advances on the 10th day of the Autumn Tournament

The way they put pressure on each other made it hard to tell which one was at the top of the list. Atamifuji defeated Ozeki Kotozakura to advance to the tournament on the 10th day. "It's a passing point. There's still a long way to go," he said calmly in a televised interview.

A place to challenge for promotion to ozeki. He heads into the ring with a natural mindset of ``doing what I'm supposed to do, no matter who my opponent is.'' I didn't feel any unnecessary tension or hardness in the opening, which I hit firmly and then pushed out forcefully with my right hand.

If he controls his blessed 185cm and 198kg physique with a clear mind and no evil thoughts, he won't collapse so easily. Chairman Hakkaku (former yokozuna Kitakatsuumi) praised the match, saying, ``The content of the sumo match we lost was good.The content of today's sumo match was also excellent.''

At the Summer Tournament in May, where he played as the new Sekiwake, he won nine games, and at the Nagoya Tournament in July, he won 12 wins, tied for victory. After the sumo match, the 24-year-old had a relaxed chat with his attendant. Will he be able to increase his chances for promotion in the final stages of the match?

``What I do remains the same. I do everything with the intention of winning, and I hope the results follow,'' he said with a firm expression on his face.
