Mongolian yokozuna Hakuho, the most successful yokozuna in sumo history, was handed a stunning upset defeat by komusubi Okinoumi on Sunday, the first day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament.
After one false start, Okinoumi charged in and got a grip on the back of Hakuho's belt and timed his follow-up to perfection, spotting an opening as the yokozuna retreated and surging forward to barge him out of the ring.
The victory was Okinoumi's first against Hakuho in 13 meetings between the two.
