Kakuryu Shines in March Basho



In a great display of technique and ability, Sekiwake Kakuryu seriously challenged Hakuho for the Emperors Cup. It was great to watch. The Yokozuna has been so dominant the last several years. We may now see the challengers we have been longing to see. With Baruto winning in January, and Harumafuji's recent tournament win, the Yokozuna no longer seems as invincible as he once was thought to be.

This was a great tournament. I don't know yet, but we may see Kakuryu as an Ozeki next tournament.
