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.
