Presidents Cup 2017 Report
This years 4th President Cup for Sambo was held at
SportsDock University of London Docklands Campus London on September 30th
2017. This event is to promote Sambo in Great Britain and features Sport Sambo
and Combat Sambo and is organised by the Commonwealth Sambo Association
supported by the British Sombo Federation
Sport Sambo is a Team event with the following Countries participating
Great Britain, England, Scotland, Cyprus, Holland, USA, Russia, Mexico and
Ghana the Combat Sambo was an individual event with fighters coming from
several countries.
The Event started on the Friday where the various countries
representatives were invited to a reception at the Russian Embassy speeches
were given by Vasily Shestakov FIAS President, Russian Ambassador, Michael Wynn
Parker Chairman Commonwealth Sambo Federation and Martin Clarke President
British Sombo Federation. The Russian Embassy is a beautiful place and many
people from the Business world were present. Martin’s Speech was about how
Sambo has brought people from all Nations together, he moved on to emphasise the
respect players have for each other. This he said was highlighted when a Sambo
match starts the contestants shake hands and when it is finished they shake
hands a sign of mutual respect. He moved on to say that Sambo itself was very
easy to follow and explained in just a few minutes the rules and said watch a
Sambo event for 10 minutes and you be able to follow it and because Sambo did
not have complicated rules the general public can soon get involved
Here is Martin's Speech

| Dignatories |
Saturday was the big day and the Venue was quite impressive
and thanks must go to Keith Costa and the British Sombo Federation team for
transporting mats and rigging as well as de rigging. Andrew Moshanov the over
all organiser arranged special lighting to enhance the venue, which made the
event even more spectacular. The start was a march on of all Athletes in their
various countries and then came various speeches by various Dignitaries
including Her Royal Highness Princess Katarina. Special Guest of the day was
Brian Jacks 10th Dan GB’s most famous Judoka and winner of the Superstars
for 3 consecutive years
 |
| Princess Katarina talking to Brian Jack and Martin Clarke |
In an interview Brian said he preferred the Rules of Sambo to
the modern day Judo and went as far as to say if he started Judo today he doubt
if he would continue in the Sport, he likened Sambo more to the Judo of the
1960’s and 1970’s . Brian now lives in Thailand and in GB to promote his book
Moving on the competition it would be impossible to mention
every fighter but I have elected just two. First was 62 kg. KIERON BOURNE from
Trinidad who beat the Russian in the Combat Sambo Final a remarkable performance
and maybe we will see him in November in Sochi Russia as a new World Champion.
Next was Tom Nichols fighting for the BSF in the Sport Sambo Team event in the
final he beat ROMAN YATSENKO u9Ok Russia that’s something that does not happen
very often
The British Sombo Federation had a hard pool with Holland USA
Ghana. First shock of the day was Team USA beating Holland who was favourites
to reach the final. This left GB BSF having to compete against USA now the
favourites to win Silver and Ghana this country has a strong heritage in both
Judo and Sambo. BSF GB beat both teams by a slim margin just 1 match in it.

| Team Ghana |
So the surprise Finalist with Russia was GB BSF it is very
hard to beat the Russian team and GB BSF lost 6-1 but all put up a great match.
The whole day was full of excitement and proved very
successful with the Large audience every one is looking forward to next Year
SO WHAT OF THE FUTURE
Well the Presidents Cup has travelled around GB but now in
the opinion of the BSF and many others it is time to have a permanent venue for
the Cup and the Docklands venue was ideal it is easy to reach for locals and
with main Aeroport’s near by it is easy for other countries. The President Cup
should become a major sporting event in the British Sporting Calendar like the
FA Cup, Grand National etc. have the event in one venue at the same time every
year would encourage spectators and sponsors plus the following day we could
have a UK Open with all the Samboists competing in an individual event. The BSF
have several events planned for 2018 Colin Carrott will be running the British
Sport Sambo Open in Folkestone England, Robin Hyslop will be organising the
Scottish Open and British Combat Sambo in Dumfries Scotland, John Clarke has
several minor events and BSF Instructors courses in Kent, our Liverpool,
Manchester, London, Newcastle and Bournemouth are still very active so the
future looks good for British Sambo
