During the morning hours of the Aki basho’s day 5, Texas sumotori Wakaichiro lost his match against Jonidan foe Omote. From the video you can clearly see that Wakaichiro was high at the tachiai, and Omote easily got under him, then just ran him off the dohyo. Wakaichro is disapointed in his performance, but mistakes are all part of improvement.

With the loss, he drops to 1-2, with plenty of remaining matches to secure his kachi-koshi.
