The Uzbekistan Sambo Championship was held in Tashkent

The Uzbekistan Sambo Championship was held from February 27 to 29 in Tashkent. More than 400 athletes from different regions of the republic took part in the tournament, held at the Zhar sports complex. Medals were awarded in competitions in Sport SAMBO among men and women, as well as in Combat SAMBO among men.

“For athletes and their coaches, the championship became a serious test, because based on the results of the tournament, a national team will be formed to participate in international SAMBO tournaments. And throughout the competition, we saw more than once how yesterday’s newcomers not only fight back, but also defeat the titled favorites in the fight for medals. Spectacular fights brought a large number of fans to the stands, so we can confidently say that the Uzbekistan SAMBO Championship has become a great sports festival for all fans of our sport,” said Alisher Alimov, President of the Uzbekistan SAMBO Association.

According to the head of national SAMBO, the athletes will have a short rest after the national championship. Sambists, who performed well at the competitions in Tashkent, begin preparations for a major international competition – the World SAMBO Cup, which will be held in April in Yerevan.
