  "account": "Onosato, the reigning Yokozuna, secured his first title of the year by decisively defeating Aonishiki in the final bout of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament. Having slipped to two wins behind his rival after a string of losses, Onosato returned to form against the Ukrainian star Aonishiki. Despite Aonishiki's early attempts to take control, Onosato's powerful pushes secured the victory in just a few seconds. Onosato, who had been struggling with left shoulder pain since a dislocation last November, expressed his joy at winning the Emperor's Cup for the sixth time. Aonishiki, dealing with a heavily strapped left foot due to multiple injuries, fell short of his fourth top-tier makuuchi title. Kirishima narrowly avoided a promotion to yokozuna, while Fujinokawa won the Fight Spirit Prize for the second time, showcasing a strong debut as a sekiwake wrestler.",
