[QUOTE="Swami, post: 181370, member: 13"] Aki Day 6: Okinoumi sweeps into sole lead Details Written by Kyodo Published: 13 September 2019 Hits: 9 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Okinoumi_Shimanoumi_Aki19_06.jpg[/IMG] No. 8 maegashira Okinoumi started the day at Ryogoku Kokugikan with a 5-0 record along with sekiwake Takakeisho. But Takakeisho lost when he was accidently tripped by the referee. Yokozuna Kakuryu (4-2) ended the surprising day when he was shoved out by No. 3 Daieisho (2-4). Having lost all four of his previous bouts against Kakuryu, Daieisho doggedly fended off the Mongolian, who is seeking his second straight championship after winning July’s tournament in Nagoya. It was the maegashira’s first career win over a yokozuna. Takakeisho, looking for four more wins to regain his ozeki status for November’s Kyushu Basho, lost his footing after the referee got in path. As komusubi Endo (5-1) pressed forward, Takakeisho appeared to step backward onto the edge of the referee’s left foot. When the referee yanked his foot out of the way, the sekiwake’s right foot slipped out from under him and he crashed to his first defeat. Moments later, in the match between ozeki Goeido and No. 2 Asanoyama, the same referee gave the wrestlers an extra-wide berth as he shifted his position. In the process, the referee tripped on the straw bales and went tumbling out of the ring. Asanoyama threw Goeido, leaving both wrestlers with 4-2 records. Okinoumi earned a solid win over No. 6 Shimanoumi (2-4). The 34-year-old Okinoumi seized his opponent’s right arm on his initial charge. Shimanoumi spun and tried to wriggle free, but Okinoumi lowered his head, charged forward and drove his opponent from the ring. Ozeki Tochinoshin (2-4) followed Goeido to the ring and suffered his fourth defeat, getting shoved out by No. 4 Tamawashi (4-2). With a different referee in charge, the Georgian ozeki was originally ruled the winner, but that decision was overturned upon video review. Sekiwake Mitakeumi (5-1) won his fifth straight bout, shoving No. 1 Hokutofuji (1-5) straight from the charge with thrusts to the shoulder and neck. Among the wrestlers who improved to 5-1 was 98-kg Enho, who proved too pesky for No. 13 Kagayaki (3-3). Kagayaki struggled to keep his balance while pressing forward against the crafty No. 11. As a result, Enho was twice able to scamper backward, escape and attack Kagayaki from the side. As Enho lunged for his right leg, Kagayaki tried to dance away but lost his balance, allowing the smaller wrestler to shove him out. Swami [/QUOTE]
