Coach Della Maddalena shared his opinion on sambo

“Sambo is the kind of sport where literally two judokas decided to take off their pants to wrestle. I have only respect for that. However, De Ridder has already debunked the myth of the strength of American wrestlers [by defeating Bo Nickal], and Australians have done the same regarding the strength of Russian wrestlers. Is there any country where people can really wrestle?”
