Georgian sumo wrestler Levan Gorgadze achieved positive balance without holding a bout.

Today Tochinoshin was to face ozeki Takakeisho but the 22-year-old Japanese sumo wrestler did not show up due to injury.

As a result, Tochinoshin has 8 wins and 1 defeat and needs to win at least 2 bouts to gain the title of ozeki.

Tomorrow Gorgadze will face Mitakeumi. The Georgian has a great advantage against him. He has beaten Mitakeumi 7 times and lost to him 3 times.
