Sumo: Ozeki Kirishima, komusubi Wakatakakage continue perfect start

TOKYO - Re-promoted ozeki Kirishima continued his perfect start to the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday as komusubi Wakatakakage and No. 13 maegashira Kotoeiho also claimed their fourth straight win.

Kirishima (4-0) was on the back foot throughout his bout against No. 2 maegashira Ichiyamamoto (1-3), who made the Mongolian-born grappler sweat in the day's final bout at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan but was slapped down at the edge.
