I can understand why he was named favourite wrestler.  Sumyabazar is 
very strong, very versatile in his wrestling skills and very NICE.   I 
confess he's my favourite brother.

Asashoryu told me he won the under 16 naadam before coming to Japan, so 
I guess his archery skills and horsemanship are pretty good, as well as 
Mongolian sumo.

I certainly agree with that!!!  Good to see Baterdene  again too.  
There was a time when Baterdene and Bayarsaihan of Mongolia were so 
strong in International sumo that they were virtually unbeatable.  the 
Aussie boys used to joke at training - "You be Bayarsaihan and I'll be 
Baterdene." but they couldn't quite copy the masters' technique and 
power.
