Context:

The Unified Sports Classification System of the USSR (Russian: Единая Всесоюзная спортивная классификация) was a document which provided general Soviet physical education system requirements for both athletes and coaches.

As of the 1970s, there were following ranks for athletes of the USSR (listed in descending order of value):

Merited Master of Sport of the USSR = international champion who has made valuable contributions to the sport
Master of Sport of the USSR, International Class = international champion
Master of Sport of the USSR = national champion
Candidate for Master of Sport of the USSR = nationally ranked player
First-Class Sportsman = regional champion
Second-Class Sportsman= state champion
Third-Class Sportsman = city champion
First-Class Junior Sportsman
Second-Class Junior Sportsman
Third-Class Junior Sportsman

Each of these titles was awarded only for results on the official competitions. Athletes who qualified for the rank were awarded a badge with serial number.
