The nine men’s combat sambo categories are under 52kg, under 57kg, under 62kg, under 68kg, under 74kg, under 82kg, under 90kg, under 100kg and over 100kg, while the women’s are under 56kg, under 64kg and over 64kg.

There will only be one age category for both styles with a mix of youth, juniors and adults competing in sport sambo and junior and adults contesting combat sambo.

Preliminary rounds will be followed by the Opening Ceremony and finals.

The event comes hot on the heels of last weekend’s European Sambo Championships in Belarus’ capital Minsk, where Russia topped the medal standings with 18 golds.
