Mongolian sumo champions battle at Nagoya tournament PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 13 July 2007
Mongolia’s two grand champion sumo wrestlers battled each other yesterday at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament in Japan. 

The younger Mongolian, Hakuho, defeated Asasekiryu to remain undefeated and tied for the tournament lead. During the match, Hakuho drove Asasekiryu out of the ring with a powerful shoving move. The win brought the 22-year-old’s tournament record to 5 wins and 0 losses. Asasekiryu currently has two wins and three losses at the Nagoya tournament.

Hakuho became a grand champion in May, becoming only the fourth non-Japanese to attain Sumo wrestling’s highest rank. Hakuho received the promotion after winning both the spring and summer tournaments in 2007.

He is moving quickly to establish his dominance with his strong showing at the Nagoya tournament.
