The Results of the Pan American Sambo Championship in Trinidad and Tobago

Pan American Sambo Championship in Trinidad and Tobago finished the season of continental competitions this weekend. A week ago, African Championship took place in Cameroon, the best sambo athletes of Asia were discovered in June in Uzbekistan, while European sambo athletes summed up the results of the continental competition in May in Romania. In the beginning of October, Pan American sambo athletes took the initiative.

Continental Pan American Sambo Championship was hosted by the University sports complex of Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. The championship gathered 70 sportsmen from 10 countries: the USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru, Jamaica, Mexico, Guatemala, Guyana and Panama.

Sambo athletes of Costa Rica participated in such a high profile competition for the first time, and their debut was quite a success. They took golden and silver memorable medals. It was a historical event for the national team of Guatemala, too; this country’s sambo athlete won a golden medal of the continental championship for the first time. Its lucky owner, Juan Jose Morales, overcame his opponents in sports sambo in 57 kg weight class.

Due to various reasons, several strong continental teams could not take part in the Championship, among which are the national teams of Venezuela, Columbia and Argentina that hopefully would approve themselves at World Sambo Championship in Narita.

The team scoring was headed by the host team of the continental championship, they have 10 golden, 6 silver, and 4 bronze medals. The US team occupies the second line of the final team score-sheet with 5 golden medals and 1 silver medal. The national team of Mexico took the bronze award: this team has 2 golden, 2 silver, and 3 bronze medals.
