Mongolian yokozuna Asashoryu is starting to show the chinks in his flaking armor.
The yokozuna was pushed over like a featherweight to a first loss against Miyabiyama on the third day of action at the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, countryman and fellow yokozuna Hakuho continued to show an indestructible confidence, extending his winning streak to 18 after having to battle Kotoshogiku twice in the day's final bout at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
