ADWPJJC23 Day 4

In its anniversary edition, celebrating 15 years of dedication to Jiu-Jitsu, the tournament began on November 1st and will continue until the 10th. On the first day of the competition, youths from all over the world took to the Mubadala Arena mats, with Sarah Galvão and Helena Crevar as promising highlights. Fighting as a purple belt in the Youth category, after winning the ADWJJC 2022 as a blue belt, Sarah Galvão once again reached the top of the podium. Coming from a stellar performance at the ADXC, Sarah returned to the Mubadala Arena ready to go all out once again, and she did not disappoint. After taking the gold with a quick armbar, the ever-hungry Sarah has another goal in her sights: the Professional Purple Belt title, which will be fought over later this week. A prominent American in the world of Jiu-Jitsu, even though she's still in the Youth category, Helena Crevar faced a group of 13 opponents in the blue belt 70kg division. Ruthless, Helena won her three fights via submission without giving her opponents the chance to score a single point. John Danaher's young athlete spoke about the exciting experience of fighting in Abu Dhabi. "This was my first time competing in Abu Dhabi and the level of professionalism is outstanding. The production, all matches running 100% on time. Plus money prizes for every Youth, Adult, and Master, with beautiful medals and giving a spotlight to the athletes not only on social media but also on the TV channel broadcasting. I love being a part of these events because I am able to help spread the popularity of this sport that I love. So far, this is one of my favorite tournaments and I recommend everyone to do it."
