Blind and Visually Impaired Sambists Participate in FIAS Training Home Initiative

Blind and visually impaired sambists did not stand aside from the call of the International Sambo Federation to the entire SAMBO community to train at home during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. They took part not only in the FIAS flash mob under the motto “Only together we will defeat the coronavirus”, but also in the Peace and Sport campaign “White Card”. Home training for blind and visually impaired sambists is in a special compilation of the FIAS website.
