Abstract: In this paper we study submanifold with nonpositive extrinsic curvature in a positively curved manifold. Among other things we prove that, if $Ksubset(S^n,g)$ is a totally geodesic submanifold in a Riemannian sphere with positive sectional curvature where $nge5$, then $K$ is homeomorphic to $S^{n-2}$ and the fundamental group of the knot complement $p{i}_1(S^n-K)congBbbZ$.
