New ozeki Hakuho's ceremony pictures in Mongolia

[Guest bnona]

Yesterday Hakuho was awarded Medal of "Hudulmur Gavya" from Mongolian presedent N.Enkhbayar.

And he celebrated new ozeki ceremony in Mongolia with mongolian senators, popular singers, famous artists.

most amazing words from Yokozuna Asashoryu, he gave UAZ-69 russian jeep to Hakuho and said "69 means 69th yokozuna. brother Hakuho go for 69th yokozuna." Everybody was honored for that words.

:-P Simply wow. That is one of the most considerate and generous gifts I've ever heard of.

read someplace Asashoryu gave a flat screen to Sekiryu - but now that I type cannot recall where I read that?! Ho hum.

I think Hakuho will be more impressed by the words the yokuzuna said to him. He can buy this russian jeep by himself I guess. (A yokozuna...)

And besides we learn that Tochiazuma will not get to Yokuzuna, at least not sooner than Hakuho.

So one vote from Asashoryu for the poll. (Blushing...)

Asa was joking. He didn't give any car to Hakuho. It is just the man who hosted the event has made the twist of turning the attempted joke to a wish saying and the media of course picked it up. The russian car is a common trophy in small tournaments in countryside. So it is just a bad joke.
