Who among sambo athletes would participate in the European Games if they were held in 2017?

Sambo was included in the program of the II European Games, which will be held in Minsk in 2019. Now sambo wrestlers from the Old World will not only compete for medals at the international competitions, but also for the right to take part in them.

“The European Games in Baku were remembered not only for their scale and “Fair play” of Belarusian sambo wrestler Stepan Popov. Many questions arose of the criteria of qualification for these Games. Now, when there is time to make the rules more clear and correct, a question of their elaboration came up. International rating of FIAS can serve as an instruments for such needs, it was established exactly for this purpose”, - FIAS executive manager Sergey Tabakov noted.
