Sumo Wrestler Asashoryu Interview 朝青龍

[@atenzan2908]

3:36 translation is wrong- Asashoryu says モンゴル相撲 (mongol-sumo) which is not "the mongolian style of sumo", but traditional Mongolian wrestling (Bokh).

[@ykoba4054]

That's CNN

[@carissasterling2411]

As a 4th grader, my mom, dad, and I used to watch Asashoryu more than even cable. My mom even has a tattoo of him on her leg. My dad passed away 4/17/2020 and watching him and his awe inspiring strength just reminds me of cheering him on with them. Now, watching this honestly makes me feel so proud to be part Japanese and have this amazing sport as part of my culture.

[@philbrown9764]

He won because he didn't fear anyone or respect them either. He was like a samurai but in modern times.

[@luckypyjamastv1473]

Yes. Something like a McGregor in MMA

[@sakispdsw]

​@@luckypyjamastv1473A McGregor but actually defending his title😂

[@btspavedthewaythefact157]

Samurai is killer, He is not He is mongolian wrestler, but japan knows about mongolian history, and sent chinese person as helper to him chinese person insulted him at his Win Party, He called him chinese wrestler. he pushed him that is reason, why he hasto give up before he could do record of Sumo

[@ildiwiesner5600]

He was the one who made me fall in love with sumo. I saw him even as a beginner, then I could see his technique, which he brought over from wrestling. And later, the determination, the fight, which I liked. The reaction of the audience also showed how great it was. No matter what negative things were written and said about him, for me and I think for many others, he is the real great sumo fighter!!! I haven't seen a sumo wrestler with a similar technique since then!

[@suntree4755]

best sumo wrestler ever in Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Accept it, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aleksthegreat4130]

Great wrestler,now successful businessman as well,to bad he had to retire so early,after winning another busho

[@pedrog6023]

O- Tany that would have never happened.

[@Timbales-sj3sq]

It absolutely would have happened. Hakuho just won his 40th championship a few days ago. Surely, he wouldn't have dominated the sport in the fashion in which he has if Asashoryu had still been around.

[@rwenadelacruz2920]

He dont have a fear to faced anybody,Because your heart was full of Respect and desire to achieve the determination although he want still to be himself my time,I remember those I know really love a "Sumo Wrestler '❤❤❤🇯🇵🇵🇭

[@sunyk]

It sounds stupid when the interviewer calls him a "sumo" -- he is a sumo wrestler, just as you don't refer to a soccer player as a "soccer". Also, the translation has some pretty major mistakes in it. For a name as big as CNN, this is pretty sloppy reporting

[@joebovovitch7803]

Japanese don't say "sumo wrestler" they say just sumo

[@PrfctPlyr]

It’s CNN what’s you expect

[@sunyk]

@@joebovovitch7803 Japanese would say "rikishi" or "sekitori"

[@JoeDuku]

GO GO GO! Asashoryu

[@cchinba]

Where is the rest part?

[@Yoppppol]

Imagine if asashoryu stayed until 35 years old just like hakuho , I think he would earn more than 30 emperor cups

[@zotgo]

did the translator just say mongolian sumo wretling? face palm

[@cszerox2006]

Translation are wrong and questions are stupid as it can get..

[@paulbaker1505]

He was something else this guy as a fighter. Still is as a man

[@homersimpson2512]

I saw he is running very fast

[@4drunkendonuts931]

I saw him playing basketball in Mongolia. His is fat but extremely athletic.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

The man rich as hell

[@AyushKumar-fo5yu]

Yup, more so after his business endeavours.

[@paulbaker1505]

I think enho if he follows this man's training tequniques can make it to the top

[@q4life551]

He's well spoken. Hakuho would have dominated him had he stayed on

[@Music.cigars.2024]

Why does that guy keep saying yokazuno instead of yokazuna....?

[@burtonrivera5253]

Hilarious..... He basically says it sure would be nice if there was a JAPANESE YOKOZUNA TOO.....tiger uppercut-to the groin of Japan s b/s!!!!

[@EthanAnthony907]

@leddeath80 this is a great sport. Alot in common with defensive and offensive linemen in football. Please dont leave immature comments. Makes Americans look bad.

[@tombatty1964]

so poor is their excuse why he was succesful? sounds like jealous and hateful well im poor and im not succesful with anything in any sport lol the reason why they are very good is just because mongolians are stronger

[@Mitjitsu]

Its not a case of being stronger. Its a case of Mongolian wrestling techniques transferring well into sumo.

[@МихаилПопов-ю5л]

This guy kept sayn yokozuno........

[@AlexJones0316]

Is this even in 240? Lol

[@galsaa0705]

@macktheknife888 Your concern would be appreciated. But to be honest , like he would need such women lol. Now he is rich as fuck and has good reputation as a wrestler. So i think you know what i really mean :)

[@ubdv8788]

Saixan avarga shvv

[@andraspongracz5996]

Is yokozuno the singular of yokozuna (according to the translator)?

[@mikehuff9793]

Yokozuno referring to the individual in practice of the principles that are required of a rikishi who has attained the rank of Yokozuna?🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@tadareba5194]

Why you people saying again and again Mongolian Mongolian ....Mongolia people hurts you....we Mongolian are very hardworking bloodstream.

[@damianb2702]

Tadar Eba yes, I used to date Mongolian girl. She was great in every way, we used to wrestle a lot in bed as well if you know what I mean;) I like Mongolians.

[@burtonrivera5253]

I feel sorry for the ones I seen saying, we invented rap and follow the hip hop persona. All language was once more musical, true, but rap isn t even music. Asashoryu showed the real spirit of the steppes

[@Timbales1979]

I really wish this guy would stop saying Yokozuno! Ffs!

[@jagaaajgaabanjuhai7564]

sindshost say me again. !!!

[@ilijastoka]

That girl interwieving Asashoryu is hot...

[@EthanAnthony907]

@leddeath80 With all the wars and goverments being run by republicans, or the same type of people. You are gonna sit at your computer and make a big deal about athletes being put in harms way? We choose to play football. We choose to be an athlete. The whole non-muslim population in Darfur and Chad were recently wiped out. The planet poisoned and destroyed by corporations with republican politicians backing them. Pick your fights better. Look around you.
