The highest sports title has two name options - "Master of Sports of International Class" and "Grandmaster of Russia". The use of two terms is due to tradition - the title of "Grandmaster" is used for board logic games (chess, checkers, go), and MSMK - for all other sports. Youth categories are assigned only in those sports where age objectively gives an overwhelming advantage over the opponent, regardless of the level of his training (where such qualities as physical strength, speed of movement, endurance, speed of reaction). In those species where age does not play a decisive role (for example, in intellectual games), youth categories are not assigned.

Getting one or another category is a serious step from amateur sports to professional ones. And the assignment of the title is already a well-deserved recognition of the achievements of an eminent athlete. But many are confused in the existing Russian sports ranks and ranks, their order. We will try to clarify this article.
Sports ranks and ranks
Athletes at the beginning of their careers are assigned ranks, and upon reaching all the latter - titles. The ascent to the podium begins with youth sports categories:
- 3rd youth;
- 2nd youth;
- 1st youth;
- 4th category (applicable only in chess - you need to play at least 10 games and score at least 50% of the points in a group game);
- 3rd category;
- 2nd category;
- 1st rank.
It should be noted that youth categories are assigned only in those sports where age is a decisive factor in competitions, where strength, endurance, reaction speed, speed of the participant are important. Where he is not important advantage or a disadvantage (for example, in mind sports), a youth category is not assigned.
Those who have the 1st sports category can already be awarded titles. We list them in ascending order:
- master of Sport;
- master of sports of international class / grandmaster;
- deserved
A long-standing custom prescribes to call masters of sports of international level in intellectual games (checkers, chess, etc.) grandmasters.
About EVSK
In the Russian Federation, the confirmation and assignment of sports categories and titles is determined by a document called the Unified All-Russian Sports Classification (EVSK). It indicates the norms in each sport that must be met in order to receive a certain of the ranks and titles. The first such document was approved in 1994; EVSK is accepted for four years. Today, the variant 2015-2018 is valid for the years, for the summer -2014-2017.
The document is based on the All-Russian Register of Sports and the list of sports recognized by the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation sports games. The document dictates both the standards that must be met in order to obtain a particular sports category or title, and the conditions under which all this must occur: the level of the opponent, the importance of the competition, the qualifications of the judging staff.
Why do you need a sports category?

Requirements for the assignment of ranks and titles
And now consider the requirements that an athlete must fulfill, and what he must meet in order to receive a certain category:
- The basis for assigning a category is only a certain measurable result of sports activity: occupying a specific place on official games or competitions, achieving a certain number of victories over opponents of a specific level over the past year, fulfilling a number of quantitative standards in sports, where they are possible.
- Each category or title implies the achievement of a certain age by the athlete.
- If within the framework of the competition, athletes are assigned ranks and titles, then it must comply with a whole set of strict rules: the composition and level of participants, a certain number of judges and athletes, the number of performances, fights and games in the qualifying and main stages.
- At international competitions, the smallest number of participating countries is additionally determined. To get the title of international master of sports or grandmaster, you need to participate in competitions of this level.
- The highest ranks are assigned only to citizens of the Russian Federation and only by the Federal Agency for Physical Education and Sports.

What do they give sports titles.Sport is an activity of people organized according to certain rules, thanks to which there is a comparison of physical or mental abilities. Most often, there is a comparison of the physical capabilities of a person, for example, who will run the fastest distance or lift the most weight.
Sports titles - titles officially assigned by the state, the level of an athlete's career growth in different areas of sports, that is, his achievements personally or in a team.
Sports titles are awarded for achievements at official sports competitions, subject to the fulfillment of the established sports standards, as well as for pedagogical or coaching.The first Unified All-Russian Sports Classification (EVSK) was introduced in 1994. EVSK defines the titles of "master of sports of Russia" (MS), "master of sports of Russia in national sports", "master of sports of Russia of international class" (MSMK) or "grandmaster of Russia". Contrary to popular belief, a candidate for master of sports of Russia (CMS) is not a sports title, it is only a sports category that requires regular (1 time in 2 years) confirmation.
Not many people know, but for the sports cultivated among the disabled, athletes are also awarded the sports titles “master of sports of Russia among the disabled” (MS) and “master of sports of Russia of international class among the disabled” (MSMK). In addition, in 1995, the regulation on the honorary sports titles "Honored Master of Sports of Russia" and "Honored Coach of Russia" was approved.
Some athletes really want to get sports titles without even thinking about what it will give them. We will not go into details and delve into the past, talking about what happened before, but we will highlight what is happening in our time.
On this moment, having an official sports title can give an athlete something, but not nearly as much as most people would like.
Firstly, a sports title can facilitate admission and study at a physical education or pedagogical university. Usually teachers are sympathetic to professional athletes, so they meet them on controversial issues.
Secondly, the presence of an official sports title gives athletes an advantage when applying for a job in state sports facilities. For example, if an athlete wants to go to work as a coach in a youth youth sports school(DYUSSH), then the presence of a sports title will be good plus in his resume, although the fact that they will take it without any sporting merit is not ruled out.
Thirdly, the presence of an official rank is taken into account when serving in the army, and is also a reason for receiving an increase in salary for employees of the FSB and other government agencies.
Most people can say that the first two points are not a good incentive to get a sports title, they will be partly right. In conditions modern life, benefits for admission to an educational institution or a check mark in a resume for employment - hardly anyone will be interested. But an increase in salary for each rank will be a very good bonus, for professional athlete.
Now we were talking about official sports titles, but as many already know, in addition to this, there are also titles of alternative federations. The difference between official and alternative federations is that the latter do not have state support, therefore, athletes competing there cannot receive sports titles officially recognized in Russia.
In Bodybuilding and especially Powerlifting, there are many alternative federations, whose activities are observed on the territory of Russia. Apart from official federation referred to as the FBFR (IFBB), Bodybuilding competitions are also hosted by the WFF, NAC and NABBA. It is worth noting that for last years the number of tournaments held by alternative federations has decreased several times, including due to the fact that many athletes began to move to the FBFR, hoping to receive, in addition to medals, cash prizes that are given at some tournaments.
In Powerlifting, the situation is similar, in addition to the official federation of the FPR (IPF), competitions are also held by NAP, VITYAZ, SPR and WRP. All of the above federations have their own sports titles and categories, which are awarded for achievements in competitions. But unlike the title of Master of Sports of Russia, any titles of alternative federations do not provide the advantages that were described earlier, in particular, they do not give an increase in salary.
Nevertheless, the presence of any sports titles or victories in competitions in any sport carries certain benefits for the athlete, especially if he works as a coach. You may have noticed that in most sports clubs, employees have a published resume that lists the most significant achievements.
The presence of sports titles or victories in competitions in any federation, regardless of whether it was officially recognized or not, to say that a person has a certain level of training and experience in this sport, that is, in part, the presence of a sports title, is a confirmation of qualification specialist.
It is impossible to say with certainty whether ordinary people need sports titles now, or it is rather a relic of the past, which is useless in modern life. But it can be assumed that no matter what sport and federation an athlete competes in, a sports title, whether it is 3rd category, ZMS or just a place taken in some tournament, first of all, this is a pleasant memory of the past, for the person himself and people close to him.
Therefore, sports titles are something useful, as it gives people positive emotions and incentive for development.
