From 25 to 28 February UMMC Sports Palace (Verkhnyaya Pyshma) will host the Sambo Russian Championship. Its gold winners will get the right to fight at the World Championship in November in Ashkhabad (Turkmenistan), and silver medalists will compete at the European Championship held in Verkhnyaya Pyshma at the end of May.

In total, more than 80 wrestlers from Sverdlovsk region will take part at the Russian Championship, i.e a record number in the history of the Sverdlovsk sambo. We remind that the copper capital of the Urals will host Russian Championship for the third time. Earlier this competition was held here in 2006 and 2014. Ekaterinburg hosted Russian Championship in 2003 and 2017. Russian championships were run more often in Verkhnyaya Pyshma and Ekaterinburg then in other cities of Russia.

Nowadays, Verkhnyaya Pyshma is fairly considered one of the main centers of development and attraction of sambo in Russia and in the world, primarily due to the success of the athletes from UMMC Sambo Club. In recent years, Verkhnyaya Pyshma sambo wrestlers have won seventeen world champion titles and thirteen European champion titles. Trophies in Russian championships and competitions number in dozens.

As of today, the most titled Ural sambist is six-time world champion Alsim Chernoskulov from UMMC Sambo Club. His teammate Ilya Hlybov who is now a deputy head coach of UMMC Sambo Club, has five top rank world trophies. There are also other winners from Verkhnyaya Pyshma, namely Timur Galliamov (two-time world champion), Vladimir Balykov, Stanislav Skryabin and Vladimir Gladkikh (one-time world champions). A brilliant master Uali Kurzhev took the fourth gold in his career and the first gold as UMMC wrestler.

In addition, the city has got what it takes (an excellent sports, accommodation and social infrastructure, convenient logistics and a large team of professionals) to host major national and international competitions as well as critical ministerial tournaments at the highest level.

As of today, more than 600 people from almost 60 subjects of the Russian Federation have already applied for the Russian Championship 2022 in Verkhnyaya Pyshma.
