Could the destination of the EmperorтАЩs Cup be decided in the first handful of days of the ongoing grand sumo tournament?
With ┼Нzeki Onosato looking untouchable during the summer meetтАЩs opening stages, and maegashira Oho having already downed yokozuna Hoshoryu and ┼Нzeki Kotozakura, itтАЩs a distinct possibility.
The two front-runners were scheduled to meet on Day 4, and the victor will have a slight, but potentially significant, edge in the early stages of the championship race.
