Hakuhou was seen on social media at the the Budokan watching the Olympic
judo matches. "This is a huge problem," said Shibatayama Oyakata. "It's no
misunderstanding. It's lack of common sense. He is not abiding by the virus
rules. It's a total disregard of the rules. The virus is wreaking havoc and
he doesn't seem to get it. This is not something small like a
misunderstanding. It's a national decision after all.." he added. "The
government has decided there would be no spectators. Seeing a  picture of
Hakuhou as a spectator is very bad,. If he wanted to go , he should have
officially presented us with a written request for deliberation. If it were
an official request from the Government that's one thing, but a request
from the Mongolian committee would not be enough.. Does he know someone
from the organizing committee? From the JOC? His being there is funny. All
spectators are banned form the venues, so why should he be different? *I
wonder if he understands the gravity of his mistake here. If he doesn't
understand it, he shouldn't be a Yokozuna! We just had the YDC scold him
for his 14th day un- Yokozuna -like actions. and right after that, he goes
and does this? It wouldn't be funny if anyone questions if he is worthy of
being a Yokozuna, or even if he is  worthy of being a Kyokai member at all!
We now can't say the top guy is patient, so you guys should be patient as
well!" added Shibatayama. *A picture of Hakuhou was spotted on July 28th on
the head of the International Judo  Federation's Chairman's Twitter
account. There was a picture of him sitting between Japanese medalist Ono
and Chairman Vizel or whatever his name is. So Hakuhou is taking part in
the Olympics after all.. A lot of questions being asked  on social media,
most of them along the lines of "Who the  %^^&^% does he think he is??"

Hakuhou is the Mongolian Olympic Ambassador and he was present at the
signing of the partnership between the Olympic committees of the two
countries back in September of 2015. He was probably there  In that
capacity. A phone call to Miyagino beya asking if the Oyakata allowed this,
Miyagino Oyakata answered that he could not comment on that.
