It all sounds wonderful in practice, but as I understand it, the Absolute Victory rules in Sambo don't result in lovely throws.

In Sambo: "a "Total Throw" is considered a throw where the attacker remains standing and throws the opponent from a standing position onto their back, causing them to fall or roll rapidly without stopping. This "perfect throw" immediately ends the match and grants victory to the attacker."

Isn't this a definition of a lovely throw?
