Ama for yusho (Sign of disapproval...)

thanks for pics. looks like Kyokutenzan is very kind guy positive attitude. I wish Kyokshuzan was the same. Or was he ignored by others?

personally , I was kind of dissappointed with Kyokshuzan who kept very low profile during the jungyo. He even did not show up in many events. or he was avoided? If Kyokshuzan or other mongols get over their differences, Kyokshuzan could have played important role in the jungyo as Mongolian pioneer ;-) in Sumo.

he looks lost weight. Mongol jungyo meant a lot to him. I think he really wanted to show himself to mongolians. Is he preparing to say farewell to Sumo?

yes I am wondering too, whose baby is it? Maybe Asashoryu's? where is mom? or is someone playing mongolian psych. In Mongolian wrestling , during Naadam , you can see many kids on national wrestling outfit, symbolic, more human, such kids bring smiles all the time

http://www.mongolnews.mn/unuudur.php?n=30867 Baruto invited Mongolian Olympic medalists to Japan During the continuing celebration of Olympic success in UB, Estonian sumo wrestler Baruto and Mongolian Sanchirold came together and expressed their congratulations. Kyokshuzan Batbayar was translating. Baruto even invited them to visit Japan to watch sumo. He said he'll find seats in front row for them :)

Sumotori paid respect to Chinggis Khaan monument

what a shameless face. I guess He will not keep his words, his word is nothing. Shameless idiot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVI7euyVkqI It is sport. Ama!, no good to be hostile. Ama was just shocked by this jump.

http://www.mongolbasho.mn/# It did not say anything about ticket sale. It says only ticket will be sold at the Circus Ticket Counter ( I hope not, If they sale ticket through that counter there will be minor "war") For information call the numbers.

well done. Thanks He also gave interview to on following website. in Mongolian language. I'll translate it later http://tsahimurtuu.mn/main/200802041341.htm

Asashoryu donated 3000$ to Mongolian classroom and said "As we know -Motherlanguage is the culture that must not be forgetten. Far away from homeland, you are doing great job of teaching the youngsters who born and grown up here our culture, language and our history and wish you the best to flourish your rightious work" Сумогийн Их аварга Д.Дагвадорж

yes I think so. I am not familiar with this post stamp. I just translated above link sonin.mn. Seems like there are some minor mistakes. yes . I am reading now another Mongolian news web link . http://www.mongolnews.mn/unuudur.php?n=26603 http://www.mongolia-web.com/content/view/1715/2/ Here it says. It is really some new stamp issuing ceremony. There are 3 post stamps which is made in 2005. Maybe it is new in Mongolia, I guess. hope he really won his own "I"

"Mongol Shuudan" (Mongolian Post) honored the achievement of Asashoryu by issuing 2 postage stamp with his image. Asashoryu attended the ceremony of first sale of his stamp. He came late and left early due to chaos caused by people who wanted to take picture with him or touch him. Post stamp cost 2100 tugrug (approx US$2 ). One is iwth Asa in baseball outfit, other is he is on dohyo. This is second time that "Mongol Shuudan" issued post stamp about sumo. http://www.sonin.mn/2008/04/17/1021/

Asa is certainly preparing his return to Mongolia. he is now 28 years old. After his sumo carier, he may try to start political/public carier in his homeland like Shuzan. It will not be suprising if Shuzan becames MP in next election. Good :-( for japan and mongolian relationship Asashoyu's short interview at Airport The Champion come back home. His parents are at the airport and Asashoryu is happy to be home, repeating again and again "great to be in my homeland" He answered few questions to media Q- Please share your impression of coming back home. How long will you stay? Asa:- Just arrived and feel really great to come back home. I'll stay 4-5 days. Q- Your personal sumo record is now at level of Takanahana. What is your future plan? Asa:-yes, I've reached to what I aimed. I'll do my best further. 15th days sumo of last baso was very important wrestling to me. And I am happy with the result. Q- You used to be Yokozuna from the East. How was your last 2 basho from the West? Asa:-This year everything seems to be new. Even there were some moments that I lost control /discouraged/dishearthened me. During these times, I did more training Q- Hakuho won2 times in your absence. What do you think about that? Asa:- Well, in my absence, brother won. Isn't it good?. He is doing good and upholding the name of Mongolia. Q- Lately, Amanishiki from stable of Ama is beating mongolians many times. . What is your opinion about him Asa:- Many times? He is smart wrestler. Ama is in same stable, so I gues they know each others sumo. I am not familiar with wrestlers from other heya. I even lost to Amanishiki 2 times :) Q-You injured your leg. How is it now? Asa:- Yes , my left leg calf muscle injured and hurts and it is not really good condition. It is under treatment.. Q-You won Kotomitsuki 26 time. What in your ming when you win someone too many times? Asa:- I used to think when would I be lost. So I was wrestling with that thought. ... I 'll do my best. Q-What people arrived with you ? Asa:- People who are going to organise Smo visit in August in Mongolia. I think , soon they will more information to press. Then more can be said. Wonderful to be home. http://www.sonin.mn/2008/04/15/895/
