Presidents Cup Latest News May 2015
Things are really hotting up for the Presidents Cup with the Russian team now selected.
Russian Team will consist of the following athletes
62 Ruslan Bagdasaryan - Russia National Champion

68 Ekaterina Onoprienko - European Champion
The GB Team has been selected and unlike most of our counter parts they receive no government grants and have to be self funding. That does not stop them training as hard as possible with each GB Representative having to supply the BSF with a monitored training programme. Our team will be one of the fittest at the tournament.

History was made when
the inaugural President’s Sambo Cup was organised in September 2014 in
London. This year, the tournament returns to England, albeit Manchester
this time, with some of the strongest masters of the world.
8 teams will compete
for the President's Cup. As before, the participants include the
founders of this sport, the Russian team; the hosts of the tournament,
the team of Great Britain; as well as two teams of the Commonwealth. The
teams of France, Bulgaria, Italy and Spain will complete the
competitive field. Each team, consisting of 7 sambists, will see the men
compete in 62, 68, 74, 82 and 90 kg weight categories, while the women
will compete in the 60 and 68 kg weight categories.
Manchester is familiar
to sports fans as the city of two football teams in the Premier League.
But beyond the football the city boasts of one of the most modern
velodromes in the world and also some significant sports results in
various disciplines.
The President’s Sambo
Cup aims to promote the sport with the help of new, creative and
innovative solutions related to the format of the tournament. The main
areas of focus for the organizers are the entertainment activities and
original marketing solutions. President of the Sambo Association of the
British Commonwealth, a member of the organizing committee of the
competition, Michael Parker, says, "Within the President's Cup we plan
to hold a demonstration tournament in combat sambo. The tournament will
be held in the open weight category and eight sambists will take part in
it. Two of them will be representatives of the United Kingdom and the
remaining six will be selected on the basis of the world rankings.
Athletes will compete for the "championship belt" and a check for a
large sum, which we, the organizers of the Cup, are not yet disclosing.
The process of selecting candidates will start immediately after the end
of the European Championship in May".
As for the team
selection, Spain and the UK have already determined the composition of
the teams in the national championships, and the teams of Bulgaria,
Russia and France have yet to do so after the European Sambo
Championships start on May 15.
In September 2014 the
President´s Cup was attended by the UK, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Azerbaijan and the countries of the Commonwealth (Africa and America).
In the final, the Russians won a unique cup crafted by jewelers of Saint
Petersburg. In the battle for 1st place they won over the UK team with a
score of 7:2. The third place went to the teams of Belarus and
Commonwealth Africa.

Manchester´s coat of
arms includes a bee that symbolizes the ability of local residents to
"work as hard as a bee" and also enjoy a good rest. Last year, the
viewers were entertained by a Scottish bagpipe band, and this year the
organizers promise to please all the spectators and guests of the
tournament with new surprises. What are they talking about? It is still a
mystery that will necessarily be disclosed on September 26.
