Kotooshu Defeating Hakuho

Kotooshu began the 15-day tournament with the modest ambition of posting a winning record to avoid demotion. But now in the midst of his most impressive showing in years, the Bulgarian wrestler is on the brink of history.
Update: Kotooshu lost a match today, but as long as he doesn’t lose two more, he’s still on track to win the cup.

If this was supposed to impress, it didn`t happen. I just laughed.

They throw salt before each match - which traditionally is from all the french fries they ate earlier in the day.

wikipedia:

On mounting the dohyo the wrestler performs a number of rituals derived from Shinto practice. Facing the audience, he claps his hands and then performs the leg-stomping shiko exercise to drive evil spirits from the dohyo as the gyoji, or referee, who will coordinate the bout announces the wrestlers` names once more. Stepping out of the ring into their corners, each wrestler is given a ladleful of water, the chikara-mizu ("power water"), with which he rinses out his mouth; and a paper tissue, the chikara-gami ("power paper"), to dry his lips. Then both step back into the ring, squat facing each other, clap their hands, then spread them wide (traditionally to show they have no weapons). Returning to their corners, they each pick up a handful of salt which they toss onto the ring to purify it.

Finally the wrestlers crouch down at the shikiri-sen, or starting lines, each trying to stare the other down. When both reach unspoken agreement, they spring from their crouch for the initial charge, the tachi-ai. In the upper divisions, they almost never charge on the first occasion. Instead, after staring they return to their corners for more mental preparation. More salt is thrown whenever they step back into the ring. This can happen a number of times (about three, or even more in the case of the highest ranks) until on the last occasion the referee informs them they must start the bout. The total length of time for this preparation is around four minutes for the top division wrestlers, but in the lower divisions they are expected to start more or less immediately.
