Doctor treating Asashoryu says sumo champion is recovering from depression

Wednesday, 12 September 2007

Mongolian sumo grand champion, Asashoryu, is recovering from the serious depression which forced him to return to Mongolia.

Speaking at a news conference, Asashoryu’s physician, Dr. Oriole said, "Asashoryu has become emotionally stable and is even starting to smile," according to The Yomiuri Shimbun. "His appetite is coming back and he is no longer suffering from insomnia."

Asashoryu had been temporarily banned from sumo wrestling after asking for the summer to recover from injuries, only to be seen playing in a soccer match in Mongolia.

Asashoryu has been recovering at a hot spring resort some 300 kilometers from UlaanBaatar.

During the Stalinist purges of the 1930's almost every monastery in Mongolia was destroyed. In 1979 an atlas was published in Ulaanbaatar by Mr. Rinchen with an overview of more than 900 religious sites that used to exist in Mongolia. However a lot the information listed seems to be not accurate. A research has been initiated to get a better idea of all the buddhist buildings that once stood in Mongolia.
