Two competitors per match (one red, one blue jacket); Weight classes (Adult Male, kg): -58, -64, -71, -79, -88, -98, +98; Weight classes (Adult Female, kg): -50, -54, -59, -65, -72, -80, +80
Why people argue about this
People often assume that all weight classes in Sport Sambo are for men only, leading them to miss the fact that there are separate female weight classes ranging from -58 kg to +98 kg, inclusive. This oversight stems from a common assumption that women's sports always have their own distinct categories, overlooking the specific inclusion of women’s divisions in this particular rule.
