SHAGDAR Sosor, known as "Bosoo" (which means "invincible"), held the title of State Lion in Mongolian national wrestling. This was reported by MiddleAsianNews.
This legendary strongman was born in 1888 in the khoshun of Erdene dүүрэгч van aimag Zasagt Khan, now the somon of Bayankhairkhan in Zavkhan aimag, in a place called Burdiiin Yolt.
In 1913, when he turned 25, Shagdar began his wrestling career, achieving victory over the famous champion Vandan Galsankhuu from the khoshun of Luu gun aimag Sain Noyon Khan at the Great Naadam of Maidara, which took place in the khuree of Tes. In 1922, this Tes khuree represented a vast area that included 6 aimags, 17 datsans, 29 temples, and about 1500 monks.
From that moment, Shagdar won victories for 13 consecutive years, earning him popularity under the nickname "Bosoo".
At the 1924 Naadam, Shagdar triumphed over another famous wrestler, also nicknamed "Bosoo", Samdan Ganjuurjav from Khan-Khentii, among 674 participants. At this tournament, Shagdar received the state title of Lion. It is known that Samdan Ganjuurjav, born in 1899 in the somon of Bayankhutag in Khentii aimag, distinguished himself with physical strength and agility from an early age.
The stone that Shagdar lifted is located in the somon of Tsagaan-Uul in Khövsgöl aimag. It was there that he spent the last years of his life.
