Short but sweet!

Highest ranking rikishi, Onosato addresses the crowd from the middle of the ring - "Hello everyone.

'London is great.

'Thank you and see you again.

'Goodbye".

Referees, rikishis and officials gather for the closing ceremony.

It’s a sight to behold. After all the mental and physical training, the sumo wrestlers receive a well-deserved standing ovation.

Most of them look stern, but I caught a smile from Takayasu.

“And the winner of the audience award is, guess who?” Commentator Hiro Morita asks.

And they’re right - congratulations to the fan favourite.

What a bout to finish off this fantastic London tournament.

The Yokozuna meet in the middle and engage in an intense belt battle.

Hoshoryu prevails! Onosato only beat him twice out of 10 bouts.

And here we are - the match we've all being waiting for.

The two Yokozuna, the two strongest in the sport, are facing each other for the title!

Another spectacular match! Intense brawl between Takayasu and Tobizaru.

The veteran sends the flying money out of the ring and on top of Yokozuna Onosato.

I'm on my feet shouting and clapping, and so is the rest of the audience.

The tournament will be now decided on the final bout. Takayasu finishes at 4-1.

Ooooof. That bout between Takayasu and Tobizaru was intense. As they locked eyes mid wrestle, the crowd gives a supportive applause. That’s easily the longest bout, eliminating the flying monkey from that winning spot.

Tamawashi's signature nodowa - he goes for Takanosho's throat and wins by frontal push out.
