Especially seeing TMZ calling him a legend Hakuho and Hokuseiho were second fiddle in the end though, as Steph Curry met K-Pop superstars Suga and Yoogi For context to non NBA fans, the Golden State Warriors are the current NBA champions and Steph and Klay are 4x champions with Steph being considered by many to be a top 10 player of all time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,747 Posted October 12, 2022 Not much for him compared to his highly decorated father and Asashoryu - Hakuho got the award from Mongolia after he surpassed Taiho's yusho record On 17/02/2015 at 09:05, Hakuhonofan said: Hakuho received his Hero of Labor medal from Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj on Feb 17, 2015 as planned, witnessed by his parents, wife, relatives, a few fellow wrestlers, and many state honor guests including moto Asashoryu. During his speech, Elbegdorj highlighting Hakuho's achievement of carving a new record in sumo's world, and together with his father both being Hero of Labor, a first in history. When Hakuho received his award today, he said, "I do not have anywhere in the world, and I am very excited to receive such respectful prize. Moreover, being a hero of labor standing next his hero of labor father is a very happy hero." Later on the courtyard, where a stage was raised for the champion to address the waiting crowd, he said amidst the cheering that his dad won it on the 20th Century, while he got it on the 21st. This year he's been winning 33 times and making history. Next he'd try to defend (the record)in the future. And wishing everyone to have a healthy and blessed peace for the Lunar New Year. Along with Hakuho, Yokozuna Kakuryu was awarded The Mongolian Barnstar National Merit and Asasekiryuu received Order of the Red Banner of Labour given to honor great deeds and services for the country. Kakuryu thanked his parents, brothers, relatives and people in his province for all their support. He was grateful for the award, and promised to work hard for the sake of future generations. Asasekiryuu praised his fellow wrestlers and thanked the people of Mongolia for the award. He said he got up early in the morning, excited and honored to wear his award. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know who the person on the far right is? He looks like he could be Hakuho's uncle or something. His name is Gelegjamts Usuhkbayar, 4 times naadam winner , whose grandfather was also 2 times naadam winner. Also uncle of Yoshoyama. Hakuho’s father admired Usukhbayar’s grandfather Jamiyan Avarga or Yokozuna, he was like a mentor to him. Later on he became Usukhbayar’s mentor. So Usukhbayar and Hakuho are pretty close, he is like uncle to Hakuho. i tried to upload some photos but it says there are some problems or error. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,483 Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Based on BuBa's post (linked below), it seems like Gelegjamts Ushukbayar's also the father of a pretty good collegiate rikishi currently in his 4th year at Doshisha University, who won a tournament earlier in the year.
