Putin's judo training with the Russian national team
One of the partners in sparring with Putin was the head coach of the national team, Ezio Gamba. After training in Sochi on Friday, January 8, he received a Russian passport from the president. The judo girl in the video, who ultimately puts Putin on his shoulder blades, is 28-year-old Irina Zabludina from Samara ( weight category 57 kilograms ). For some reason, in the version of the video from the Russian Russia Today, the sparring itself is cut down.
