Years in sumo
2014 in sports

2014 in sumo saw the traditional six major tournaments or basho held in January, March, May, July, September and November as usual. The yokozuna Hakuhō won five of the six tournaments taking his total of yūshō to 32 to equal the record of Taihō. Kakuryū's victory in March saw him promoted to become the sport's 71st yokozuna. Consistent performances at the rank of sekiwake saw Gōeidō being promoted to ōzeki for the September tournament. The most notable retirement was that of the former ōzeki Kotoōshū.

October

[edit]

His record of consecutive uninterrupted kachikoshi also ends at ten tournaments.[76]

    • Hakuhō equals Taihō's record of 32 tournament titles, set in 1971, by defeating Kakuryū to finish two wins clear of his nearest rival at 14–1. Hakuhō was inspired by yokozuna Taihō, who had links to his Miyagino stable and occasionally attended training sessions there. Hakuhō had visited Taihō just two days before his death in January 2013 and told him he would try to break his record.[82] Hakuhō's only defeat is to Takayasu, who scores 10–5 and wins the Outstanding Performance Award. Both sekiwake, Aoiyama and Ichinojō, were making their debuts at the rank and both come through with winning records, the first time this has happened in seven years.[83] Tokitenkū wins a jūryō championship for the second time since the May 2004 tournament. At 35 years and two months old, he is the second-oldest post-war jūryō champion, and at 62 tournaments, it is the largest space between jūryō championships in post-war history.[84]
    • Maegashira Kyokutenhō, at 40 years and two months old, wins his seventh Fighting Spirit prize and becomes the oldest special prize recipient in history. He surpasses the record held by Wakasegawa, who received the Technique prize at 38 years and nine months old.[85]
