 Three-Time WORLD SUMO CHAMPION
Byambajav Ulambayar

Byambajav Ulambayar in his native Mongolia, was the National Junior Judo Champion, the National Junior Sambo Champion, and the National Junior Mongolian Wrestling Champion. At age 15, he was recruited by a visiting Japanese Sumo Grand Champion, and accepted an invitation to enter professional Japanese sumo a few months later. Under the “shikona” (sumo name) of “Daishochi”, he made an immediate impact, winning a divisional championship while still only 16 years old! He rose quickly up the ranks, and by the tender age of 18, Daishochi was the highest-ranked wrestler in his “heya” (sumo stable, or team). Daishochi seemed destined for pro sumo's very highest ranks, but just after turning 20, opted to leave pro sumo. He subsequently won the Mongolian Sumo Championships and then the World Sumo Championships for two years in a row! As the two time heavyweight World Champion, he aspires to multiple such titles in the coming years. Mr. Ulambayar is quite a hero in Mongolia, and is also becoming known on the international sumo stage, thanks to his dominance at the World Sumo Championships. He had a streak of over 50 consecutive victories in international competition!
In 2009, Byamba entered his first World Games competition, and won the gold medal, making him the reigning World Games Sumo Champion until 2013! Byamba was also featured with multiple full-page photos in the "Body Issue" of ESPN Magazine (October 19, 2009). With greater acclaim worldwide and growing popularity in the United States, Byamba continues to train and compete in sumo around the globe.
