Ukrainian Sambo Championships were held in Kiev

On December 9-10 the Ukrainian Championships in Sports and Combat SAMBO were held in Kiev. More than 300 athletes from 21 oblasts of the country took part in the competitions.

The team cup was won by the tournament hosts. And though the victory in this category is determined by scores, sambists from the capital have outstripped the rest both in quantity and in quality of medals (total sum – 24: 7 golds, 5 silvers, and 12 bronzes). Kharkiv got 14 medals (7-5-2), while Odessa earned 12 (2-6-4).

 

‘It could be stated that these championships were aimed at 2018, since the results are taken into account in further selection of athletes for the national team, to perform at the European and World Championships. That’s why competition for medals was pretty intense,’ noted Mikhail Rudenko, senior coach of the national team. ‘Interestingly, both experienced and young fighters have been victorious. For instance, Anatoly Voloshinov, the winner of continental and global championships, took gold in combat SAMBO, in the under 100 kg weight class, whereas Igor Poterya, bronze medalist in Sochi 2017, only took third place in Kiev, in the same weight class.’
