RIP Byamba

The world of amateur sumo wrestling lost a great representative this past weekend.  Ulambayaryn Byambajav, or Byamba as he was affectionately known as, passed away at the age of 35.  The SumoByamba.com website has more information about Byamba and his contributions to the sumo community.  He is most remembered as a TV and Movie star, but he was very talented inside the ring as well.  R.I.P. Byamba

    Dang. 35 is way too young. Last year seemed like it was a rough year for bloggers. 2020 seems to be a rough year for young athletes. Rest in peace Mr. Byambajav.

    That is too bad. I just looked on his website but was a bit confused, did he actually do sumo in Japan? What rank was he?

      He got up towards the top in Makushita. Almost to Juryo before he got injured.
