Yokozuna Hakukho is in Ulaanbaatar, where he was born,
for a brief visit. He had a meeting with Mayor G. Munkhbayr who congratulated
him on his recent run of success. Hakuho’s victory in this month`s basho was
his 19^th championship title, and the 7^th consecutive.  This is the same as Asashoryu’s record and if
Hakukho  wins the July tournament he will
set a new record.

During his meeting with the Mayor, Hakukho announced he
was donating an ambulance to the City Health Organization.
