Among the competitors were prominent figures from both Russian and international sports, fighting not only for awards but also for places at the World Cup. The Novosibirsk region was represented by eight sambists, including both students and graduates from the region's top sports educational institutions.
A notable pride for Novosibirsk was Artem Tadin, a student of the NSPU Faculty of Physical Culture. In intense matches in the under 98 kg weight category of the "combat sambo" discipline, he showed an impressive level of skill and triumphed in the final against Magomed Magomedov from Dagestan, a three-time world and European champion.
This achievement is the culmination of years of dedication, training, and professional development. Artem represents the Regional Centre for Sports Training (RCSP) and the Olympic Reserve College of the Novosibirsk region. He’s effectively managing his sporting career alongside his studies at Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University.
Winning the Russian Cup has opened up new opportunities for Artem Tadin. He has been selected for the national team and will now represent Russia at the Sambo World Cup.
Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University actively promotes the sporting accomplishments of its students. The achievements of athletes like Artem serve to inspire not only their fellow students but also anyone pursuing their ambitions while juggling education and sport.
— We take great pride in Artem's achievement. His success is not only due to his own hard work but also the backing of his coaches, mentors, and the university. He stands as a role model for all students at NSPU, - remarked Sergey Pavlovich Turygin, Dean of the NSPU Faculty of Physical Culture.
The Russian Sambo Cup once again highlighted the exceptional training, determination, and skill of athletes from Novosibirsk. Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University extends its congratulations to Artem Tadin on his victory and wishes him success in future international competitions.
