2. • All my family likes sports
thanks to my grandfather –
Valery Ivanovich Melnikov.
• When he was 14 he started
to do judo and sambo.
• While his navy service my
grandfather was organizing
tournaments during longdistance voyages.

3. It’s me!
Valery Nikolayevich made a lot for the development of
judo and sambo in our town. In 1991 he organized sport
school in Baltiysk. He trained over 5000 sportsmen! He is
a strict coach.

4. •My grandfather is proud of his pupils. He was very happy
when my father – his son – got the 1st junior category in judo.
•Now my father and grandfather are the members of the
Sambo and Judo Federation in Kaliningrad. Their pupils
became Champions of Russia and Northwestern Federal
District. They won more than 25 Cups.

5.  In
1999 Valery Nikolayevich took part in his
last tournament. It was Judo Championship in
Kaliningrad. Then he won the 3rd place! He was
50 years old. I’m very proud of him!

6. My
grandfather is very
strong and active. He
took part in our school
competitions!

7.  Judo
includes clutches and throws. Hard trainings.
Sporting schedule. Full gyms. Self-victory. It’s a great
holiday!
 I attend judo tournaments from my childhood. I hold
my grandfather’s hand and understand that I am a part of
the competition. Now I choose sport to go in for. But I
know exactly that sport will have an important role in
my life! Thank you, grandfather!
