1. My role model.
Shataev Dmitriy
Moscow region
Balashikha

2. I was born in Balashikha. And I always wanted
to be a sportsman. Some years ago I went into
sport. It was sambo.

3. The word "SAMBO" is an acronym for
SAMooborona Bez Oruzhiya, which literally
translates as "self-defense without weapons".
Sambo is relatively modern since its
development began in the early 1920s by the
Soviet Red Army to improve their hand-to-hand
combat abilities.

4. Do you think he is a
diplomat or an actor? No.
He isn't. He is a famous
sambist- Denis Davydov.

5. Denis was born in
Balashikha in 1987.
He was a
purposeful boy. He
wanted to be the
first. And he
reached the goal!

6. He became the winner of the
European championship in 2010 and
the winner of world championship in
2012.

7. Denis Davydov is my role model.
He is ambitious, strong-willed and
successful. I hope someday I will
acheave the same result.
