DAVAO CITY- Davaoena Sambo practitioner Sydney Sy Tancontian will spend time promoting Sambo as a sports and fitness routine while waiting for her next international Sambo competition.
Guesting before the weekly PSC Radio Hour last November 20, Tancontian, who won the bronze medal in the 2020 World Sambo Championships held in Novi Sad, Serbia. last November 8, said she will exert effort to propagate Pilipinas Sambo in the Philippines.
"Ang Sambo ay hindi lang sports puede din ito pang fitness", Tancontian said.
Tancontian said once the people can try it Sambo is a good fitness routine as well and not just a sport.
The 20-year-old Davaoena won the bronze medal earlier in the 80-kilogram Women's senior category after beating Spain’s Evadne Huecas with a score of 2-1.
She said her bronze medal is due to her hard work and experience.
Tancontian revealed traveling to Serbia alone and without a coach is very hard but because of her hard work and determination, still, she was able to bring home a medal for the Philippines.
‘Hindi po naging ganun kadali itong naging biyahe at paglalaro ko. Isa po sa mga pagsubok ay ang pagbiyahe ko ng mag–isa. Lahat po ng ito ay hindi mangyayari kung wala pong tiyaga na ginugol para matuloy at makapaglaro ako,” Tancontian said in a Facebook post.
The Davaeona said she is very happy to win and bring herself to the world-caliber stage once again especially in the senior’s division.
She also took the time to thank all those people who supported her journey to the competition.
“Gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa International Sambo Federation (FIAS), Pilipinas Sambo, sa mga magulang ko, Sir Mike, Coach Ge, Doc Audan, Indonesia Sambo sa pag assist at sa iba po na hindi ko naimention, Salamat po,” she said. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
