The central event of the day for the Ukrainian audience was another victory by ozeki Aonishiki (Danylo Yavhushyshyn), who extended his winning streak to four matches in a row. According to Sport RBC.UA, the Ukrainian defeated maegashira #3 Yoshizuru Churanoumi in a tough, drawn-out bout, despite ongoing concerns about his injured left leg, sustained during the charge. ### The Course of Aonishiki's Decisive Bout The bout with Churanoumi turned out to be one of the most tense on the day's card. The rivals could not break the distance for a long time, and it was precisely at the moment of the charge that Aonishiki again experienced problems with his left leg. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian did not let the injury dictate the outcome of the match: pressing his opponent in the key phase, he recorded yet another victory. Aonishiki's record after Day 10 stands at 7 wins and 3 losses. ### Onosato's Lead and the Pursuers At the top of the standings after two-thirds of the tournament, yokozuna Onosato sits firmly in command, having defeated Hakunofuji. He has only one loss for the entire tournament. A direct chase for the leader is being led by Atamifuji, Fujinokawa, and Kinbozan, each with 8 wins and 2 losses. Aonishiki, with a 7-3 record, holds a provisional fifth place, remaining a step behind the leading group. ### Injury as a Risk Factor It is worth noting that Aonishiki took a significant risk by entering Aki Basho 2026 with an existing leg injury. It was previously reported that the decision to compete in the tournament was not an easy one, but the Ukrainian is showing resilience: a streak of four consecutive wins confirms that his physical condition allows him to compete at the highest level. At the end of the 15 competitive days, the winner of the basho will be the rikishi with the most wins, and Aonishiki retains real chances of landing in the upper part of the final standings. ### Contradictory Data No significant factual discrepancies between sources were found. Sport RBC.UA and Sport.ua unanimously confirm the Day 10 result, Aonishiki's record (7-3), and his provisional fifth place. The Ukranews source mentions the 'third Emperor's Cup,' but this is a reference to a previously won tournament, not the current Aki Basho 2026, which has not yet concluded. Thus, no contradictions in the Day 10 data were detected. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Chasing the Yokozuna: Aonishiki Records 4th Straight Win at the Sumo Grand Tournament](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/othersport/pogonya-yokodzunoyu-aonishiki-zdobuv-4-tu-1790099768.html) - Основной источник.
