Wakanohana Upset by Annenyama
FUKUOKA (UPI) - Twenty-four-year-old Annenyama, second
ranking maegashira, Sunday pulled off the biggest surprise in the current
sumo tournament by upsetting yokozuna (grand champion) Wakanohana.
A packed house of more than 10,000 in the indoor
arena cheered Annenyama when he charged and pushed Wakanohana out of the
ring in the day's final bout.
It was Wakanohana's first defeat in the eight days
of the 15-day, sumo championships. Annenyama now has a 4-4 record.
