Sumo wrestlers to hold tournament in Mongolia, Japanese media reports

Monday, 24 December 2007

News media in Japan are reporting that Mongolia will host its first-ever tournament of sumo wrestlers from The Japan Sumo Association next August.

Mongolians have become increasingly interested in the sport following the success of two current grand champions, Asashoryu and Hakuho, who are from Mongolia.

"It would be great to step into the raised ring in my home country. I hope for the success of the tour," Asashoryu told the Kyodo News Agency.

While this would be the first time sumo exhibitions are held in Mongolia, Japanese sumos have visited countries such as the U.S. and Israel.
