in 2012 On November 18, the memorial tournament of Viktor Alikhanyan, the honored coach of the Republic of Armenia, one of the founders of the sambo sport in Armenia, was held in the gymnasium of the “Ashkhatank” company in Yerevan, with the participation of more than 250 young athletes from the regions of Shirak, Lori, Tavush, Kotayk, Ararat, Yerevan and NKR. :
The goal of the tournament, which is being held for the 14th time, is to popularize the sport of sambo, to test the strength of young athletes, to familiarize them with the procedure of official competitions and to gain the experience of a new generation of referees.
With the support of the Sambo Federation of Armenia, it is held as a result of this, as well as a number of other competitions already held during the year (international memorial tournaments of Nelson Stepanyan, Garnik Hovhannisyan, national round of the “Youth Sambist” international tournament, school open championship, held by the Olympic Youth Sports School of Sambo and Judo, etc.) the high reputation of the sport and the successes of our athletes in international competitions are ensured.
Let’s remind that Armenian sambo players won 2 team trophies and 37 medals in the European and World Championships and the Sambo World Cup rounds during the “Season 2012”, 16 of which belong to the students of the Olympic Youth Sports School for Sambo and Judo.
Most important, of course, is the ever-growing popularity of the sport. For comparison, let’s note that 125 athletes took part in the Alikhanyan tournament last year, and 286 this year. This was reported by the Sambo Federation of Armenia.
