SUMO CHAMP DOESN’T LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH: A sumo champ is now well stocked with livestock, thanks to a generous gift from appreciative fans:

Sumo Wrestler sheep


YAHOO! reports that wrestler Hakuho was given more than 100 horses and sheep by villagers in his native Mongolia after his latest victory. Over 1,000 people came to show their respects and present their big prize to the champ.

With all those animals about, we hope the happy crowds watched where they stepped on the steppe.

Hakuho was touched by the offering, saying, “It gives me great power to know that everyone back in Mongolia is watching me on TV. It makes me want to keep improving my sumo.”

That was a nice thing to hear - people in Mongolia finally have television.
