Asashoryu (3-0) marked 33 straight wins Tuesday, extending the record he set earlier this week when he surpassed the 10-year mark of 30 consecutive victories by yokozuna Takanohana. Asashoryu is the overwhelming favorite to win the summer tournament.If he wins all 15 bouts in the current tournament, he'll break a record set in 1949.
Only three wrestlers have had better streaks, with the best, 69, by Futabayama in 1939.
