On October 15, a regional stage of all-Russian sambo competitions took place at the Voikov Martial Arts Palace. Within the framework of the project “Sambo – to School!” and the School Sambo League “Time of the First”, teams of general educational institutions fought for the victory.
The initiative “Sambo to school!” is aimed at popularizing this national sport among young people. It contributes not only to the study of sambo, but also to the physical, spiritual and patriotic education of the younger generation. More than a hundred young athletes took part in demonstration performances and fights.
The participants of the competition were welcomed by the Deputy Chairman of the Penza City Duma Daniil Koshlakov (master of sports of Russia in sambo), the head of the Department of Education of the city Yuri Kalenov and the guest of honor - Honored Master of Sports and World Sambo Champion Susanna Mirzoyan.
The Za Sambo project is federal. In our region, it has been implemented since 2022 on the initiative of the Governor of the Penza region, Secretary of the regional branch of the United Russia party Oleg Melnichenko.
