As far as I can see the only one is that the athletes wear shorts rather than a leotard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s move that are legal in Sambo that are illegal in freestyle wrestling. The scoring system is different too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

As far as I can see the only one is that the athletes wear shorts rather than a leotard. it's a mix between Judo, Wrestling and other Martial Arts and the scoring criteria are different from all the "original" sports that have been used as an inspiration to build the rules of Sambo (which was invented as a form of training for the Soviet Military Forces in the early Twenties of the 20th Century)...

Olympian1010 7,526 Posted June 23, 2019 #458 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) I will rarely defend any Russian athletes, but the Armenian athlete just bullied the hell out of him, showed bad sportsmanship, and took cheap shots, and was awarded the sambo match. Not a good look for the sport. Edited June 23, 2019 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
