I am also grateful to my teachers and trainers. Habits and discipline gained while training in Sambo wrestling gave me the endurance to overcome any challenge, wit to defeat my rival and physical and intellectual confidence in not only in sports, but in business and politics, as well.

Sambo is a type of sport which is highly applicable to Mongolians’ physique and mentality,  therefore, can be a great field to triumph for Mongolians, and to achieve physical discipline, moral upbringing, confidence in one’s self and stamina to fight for victory for youngsters.

I have been and will continue showing great support for promoting development of this sport in my own country and organizing Sambo wrestling events of continental and global levels, as a figure related to Sambo and an athlete who’ve won the World Championships and the World Cup of Sambo.

I wish you a higher success in sports. May you to entertain the fans with fair competition and skillful bouts.
