🏆 Gold at Europeans and Rome Open!
Gold at No-gi Europeans
Last weekend we had 14 competitors at the IBJJF No-gi European Championship, held in Rome.
Everyone gave their best effort and did well, bringing home a lot of metal. The competition spanned over a whole week, and fell at the same time as the Rome Open, which some of the team also competed at. All in all it was a lot of competition experience and also some exploring and fun in the downtime during the week in Rome.
A special big congratulations to our three new Europeans champions; Oscar Rosenkrantz, Kamil Kmiotek and Lasse Bennedsen who all brought home gold medals!
Let’s bring an even bigger group next time! For those interested, there is also the Paris Open from 29th to 30th of November, which will also be some good international competition experience.
