Ukrainian sumo wrestler Danylo Yavhusishyn, known as Aonishiki Arata, became the first Ukrainian promoted to ozeki, sumo’s second-highest rank. He achieved the milestone faster than anyone since the six-tournament calendar was introduced in 1958

The 21-year-old, who fled the war in Ukraine three years ago, won the Kyushu tournament after a tie-breaking victory over grand champion Hoshoryu from Mongolia.
