Vladimir sambist Anton Konovalov became world champion

Vladimir has once again proved that he has no equal on the world stage. On Sunday in Tashkent, he became a four-time world champion, defeating Tunjai Shamil of Azerbaijan in the final.

The tournament in the capital of Uzbekistan is an anniversary, the fiftieth in a row. Athletes from more than eighty countries came on the carpet, so the competition was fierce. But Konovalov, who is the captain and standard-bearer of the Russian national team, coped with the task without misfires.
