I really think that everybody whom I’ve seen today during training and weighting is actually very good. Of course the Lithuanian team is among the leaders. I think that the main aim of this tournament is not to differentiate the best but to bring everybody together. Though I hope tomorrow we’ll be best.
Henk-Jon Ningbers, referee: It’s the second time I’ve been a referee here. before that I also competed here and I was a champion in 2005. Now I’m just enjoying Vilnius and my being a referee of SAMBO tournament of Eigminas.

Participants of the tournament who will stay in Lithuania till the 8th of December will have a pleasant surprise. That day of Vilnius will be made for them. As most of the athletes cannot get acquainted with the culture and the main attractions of the host country, this trip will be doubly useful for them.
