Terukuni, Yokozuna or Grand Champion of the Western
Camp, was the big upset in Sunday's sumo tournament at the Kokugikan Amphitheater
when the behemoth wrestler was thrown for his first defeat on the fifth
day of the summer match by Matsuuragata of the Eastern Camp, who achieved
the great feat with an upper-hand throw. Terukuni is the first of the four
Grand Champions to receive the 'black mark' this season, which is to continue
for 15 days.
