Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Mikhail Degtiarev reported that he had signed a decree recognizing sambo as an Olympic sport.
— We are opening a new chapter in the history of our national sport, sambo. I have signed an order for the development of sambo in Russia. For the first time, we have equated the status of sambo to an Olympic sport, although by decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), sambo received the status of an Olympic sport in 2021. Now Sambo will receive additional opportunities for development and support, ”Degtyarev wrote on his Telegram channel.
In 2021, the International Sambo Federation received full recognition from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
