Jigjidiin Mönkhbat (Mongolian: Жигжидийн Мөнхбат; 1 June 1941 – 9 April 2018) was a Mongolianwrestler. Jigjidiin Mönkhbat is the 1968 Olympic vice-champion in the 87 kg.
Mönkhbat was a State Grand Champion in Mongolian wrestling, a top rank in the sport, with six Naadam championship wins (1963–1967, 1974). His name Mönkhbat means "Eternal firm" in the Mongolian language.
He was the father of professional sumo wrestler Hakuhō Shō, who held the top rank of yokozuna in that sport before retiring. His son Hakuhō regards his six Nadaam championships as the equivalent of 36 tournament championships in sumo (as sumo tournaments are held six times a year) and used that as motivation to keep going even after passing Taihō's record of 32 championships.[5]
State Naadam WinnerWon at least 5 rounds in State NaadamAimag/Sum NaadamPromotion
Legacyedit
In Mongolian wrestling, he won five consecutive tournaments, a feat matched by only two other athletes in the modern history of the sport since 1922.
His statue was erected in his honor and in celebration of his achievements on July 21, 2021, in his hometown of Erdenesant, Tuv Province, Mongolia. The event also marked the 100th anniversary of Erdensant sum.[7] His student and fellow State Grand Champion G.Ösökhbayar attended the opening ceremony.
