Today is the birthday of the FIAS President Vasily Shestakov

We would like to congratulate the head of our extended sambo family. Managing an international sports federation is an activity demanding great commitment and in-depth analysis of what is going on in the world of sports today, readiness for creative and meticulous work. We would like to wish Vasily Shestakov patience, infallible love of life and victories on this difficult, but interesting road. We believe that under his wise guidance SAMBO will become even brighter, more attractive and successful sports discipline. And that our utmost task - to become a part of the Olympic family - will become a reality and gives us new opportunities for successful development in the future.
