A huge thank you to Vasily Skudnov, Igor Samodurov, and the Yaroslavl Sambo Federation for organizing an exceptional international Sambo tournament in Uglich, Russia. Their dedication made for an unforgettable experience, drawing competitors from across the region.
Our team delivered impressive results, with Jack Wilson and young Dennis both claiming gold medals. The rest of our fighters also took home medals, each demonstrating skill and perseverance. Although Paul sustained a leg injury, he received immediate professional care, ensuring his quick recovery and comfort.
Beyond the competition, the organizers treated us to an incredible day of fishing and hunting. Jack even caught the biggest fish of the day—a fitting way to celebrate his birthday! The hospitality here has been truly remarkable, and we look forward to returning soon.
