Such thing has never happened in Aki Basho, 6 sumoists became leaders, two Georgians No.2nd Maegashira Tochinoshin and No.15th Maegashira of East Gagamaru.

Gorgadze’s next opponent is also Ozeki Kotooshu of Bulgaria. He is also competing without lose. But he has already lost 2 times with Georgian sportsman.
Teimuraz Jugeli (Gagamaru) is also among leaders. It seems that he will succeed soon and will get better title that No 15th Maegashira is. 23-year-old Maegashira Gagamura beat 38-year-old No.16th Maegashira Tosanoumi. Tomorrow the heaviest sumoist of elite (Jugeli weighs 202 kg) will play against No.16th Maegashira Kiokunankai.
