Mongolian sumo wrestler appointed grand champion

A Mongolian weightlifting fighter has been elevated to the highest position in a meeting held on Friday.

Hoshoryu, true name Sugarragchaa Byambasuren, became the 74th yokozuna, or grand hero, after winning a big event last month.

The boxer must not only achieve excellent having success, but also demonstrate good conduct, and have their qualifications evaluated by a panel of judges.

Hoshoryu’s brother Asashoryu, a previous yokozuna who was known as the poor boy of weightlifting, was forced to quit the game in 2010 after breaking a man’s head in a drunken fight outside a bar.

However, Hoshoryu has already indicated that he wants to follow a different way than his brother, whose wedding was held 22 years previously to the present.

” I want to work effectively as a yokozuna and would my best”, he said.

Around 3,500 fans watched the 25-year-old perform a number of festivals for his new name at the Meiji Shine in Tokyo.

He was handed a light cord buckle worn by yokozuna, which he put on for his ring-entering service.

He clapped his hands, stamped his foot, and sat in a small squat for a few days as the audience applauded.

” I practised a lot but I was still more frightened than I expected”, he said.

” I think I did it properly though”.

A yokozuna is expected to withdraw if their level of sumo falls, unlike various ranks, and cannot be demoted.

Many wrestlers can keep the rank at any one time, but Hoshoryu will stand out after Terunofuji, the 34-year-old grand champion, made the announcement earlier this month.

His interview, for the first time in more than 30 decades, leaves the game with no great champion.

Sumo has been dominated by Peoples for the past 25 times.

Six of the seven athletes who were promoted to yokozuna have been from the Asian nation since the turn of the century.

Japan’s only new champion during that period, Kisenosato, held the rank for less than two years.

” Peoples do so well because their regional wrestling type, Bokh, is quite comparable”, Rob Ó Néill, chairman of the British Sumo Federation, told the BBC.

In Bokh, combatants rely on foot washes, which are legitimate in sumo but were unusual until the influx of Mongolian fighters turned specialist.

” It was like a kickboxer fighting a boxer”, Mr Ó Néill said.

Although the Chinese soldiers have improved their ability to defend these maneuvers, they are a fundamental component of Mongolian fighting idea in a way that they are not in Japan.

Sumo is a very classic game that requires practice.

The Mongolians ‘ success is also attained by their early wrestling training.

” They’re also absolutely huge people”, Mr Ó Néill added.

Unlike additional combat sports, expert weightlifting does not have weight classes.

To be a professional, soldiers must eat, sleep and educate with one another in a type of education house called a solid.

The Japan Sumo Association has approved about 40 horses, and there are now about 40.

” It’s their entire way of life from when they join to when they retire”, Rob said.

Franchises serving chanko, a type of dish eaten in large amounts by the athletes, are often opened by previous fighters near stables.

Since Japan is the only nation with a professional sumo wrestler, the majority of the fighters are self-taught. Each can simply teach one foreign wrestler.

The success of the men’s aspiring Sumo World Championships, which fields competition from nearly 90 countries, is invited to join a firm.
