Gabi Pessanha with the first of two gold medals she won.
At the end of day 3 this Thursday, the 2018 Euros had crowned all of its blue and purple belt champions.
Purple
Those who stood out included the charismatic Gabrieli Pessanha, a student under Márcio de Deus. She backed up her favoritism by beating Eva Rosales (Infinity Martial Arts) in the super-heavyweight division final, and Vanessa Pereira (Kimura) in the absolute final.
Sweden’s Camil Karahan of Checkmat/Prana Jiu-Jitsu shook off his loss in the heavyweight division final and came back firing on all cylinders. In the absolute division, after getting through tough match-ups, he defeated Igor Tanabe (Over Limit BJJ) to secure the gold. Thalison Soares, of Cícero Costha, displayed some refined BJJ and closed out the roosterweight division with his teammate Johnif de Oliveira Rocha.
Blue
Vinicius Liberati of Cícero Costha bagged double gold. He won the heavyweight final against Adrian Ember (Zé Radiola) and the absolute final against Gerald Pietrosemoli (Toulon JJB).
Barbara Bergbauer (Association Aranha) was another fighter shaking off a loss in a weight division final — medium heavyweight, in her case. She came upon Océane Jativa (Academie Pythagore) in the absolute final and nabbed that sweet gold medal.
The results so far, as provided by the IBJJF, can be found below.
