Quite recently the Sumy regional federation of sumo received the status of the legal organization. Young trainer Vitaly Degtyar headed it.

Much for its formation made Yury Golub Jr., Sergey Hekalo, Stanislav Glushchenko, Sergey and Alexander Skvarchi. All of them are engaged with children in free-style wrestling, and for quite some time now and sumo.

Representatives of free-style wrestling have preferable chances to prove and in sumo wrestling: low rack, strong feet, work as hands, broskovy equipment. It is impossible to someone in the manumission why not to try sumo? Excellent chance. "We don't oppose free-style wrestling and sumo — Yury Golub speaks. — Simply we expand possibilities of children to prove".

The federation in Sumy is created not from scratch. In due time sumo to us was "delivered" by Yury Nikolaevich Golub, the deserved trainer of Ukraine; there were followers. And champions, masters of sports in this look: Igor Gevlich, Roman Sitalo, Sergey Hekalo, Victor Mucha, Evgenia and Victoria Nosok. Five years сумчане went to organization creation.

Last year at us passed the championship of Ukraine on sumo. Our city was visited by Sergey Korobko, the person who was standing at the origins of the Ukrainian sumo; vice-president of the World federation, president of the European and Ukrainian federations of wrestling of sumo.

The former athlete, he became the successful sports manager. When only started developing sumo in Ukraine, many were perplexed and laughed. And he didn't pay attention, and the caravan went … Now, in 15 years — when there were world champions and Europe, 11 deserved masters of sports — ministers and deputies for honor have to be known with Sergey Korobko. It beats out apartments to athletes, employs them. But the main thing — helps them to be realized.

"The most unfortunate person — is the unrealized person — Sergey Viktorovich speaks. — And why champions are necessary? . Present, in any village the boy, as well as all runs. People in eternal cares, in anything don't trust. And suddenly the boy becomes the champion of Europe. Means, something can be made! And people become stronger. The more champions, the nation" is stronger. Certainly, Sergey Viktorovich speaks with a projection to Sumy. 15-year-old Nikolay Grinchenko from Zhovtnevogo, Yury Goluba's pupil became Champion of Europe on sumo of 2013 among cadets. And Yury Sitalo from Great Chernetchina who is trained by Sergey Skvarcha — the silver prize-winner.

Speak, the fellow countryman of the fellow countryman sees from far away. Yury Golub knew that in Alushta "The Olympic center "Spartak" directs sports base being akhtyrchanin. I went to say the word for children. And six days in a hall where legendary wrestlers trained, triple Olympic champions Alexander Medved, Aleksandr Karelin, Buvaysar Saytiyev, were engaged in free-style wrestling of the boy. And in the evening, at home, in "Sumatori", on the presents clay dohe reincarnated in sumoist.

In the Spartak center residents of Sumy got acquainted with young Moscow wrestlers, carried out sparrings. Heads agreed about joint educational and training camps in Sumshchina and in Russia next year. Friendship between residents of Sumy both the Russian trainers and young wrestlers the old.
