SAMBO just got included in the European Olympic Games!
Apparently after lobbying from Putin himself.
For those, who are not familiar with the case, SAMBO was first introduced to the Olympics in 1980 and was recognized as an Olympic event.
Unfortunately, the boycott of the games in Moscow delayed the official introduction of SAMBO in the Olympic sports family, but the efforts towards it were always in place.
Lets hope that in the very near future, we will see SAMBO in the program of the Olympics!
