Last weekend, Las Vegas held the IBJJF’s American Nationals. Keenan Corneilus and Beatriz Mesquista came out the big winners, each with double gold.

Keenan made his comeback after being sidelined for a while by injury. He wound up meeting his Atos compatriot Josh Hinger in the heavyweight and absolute finals, and they closed it out both times.

Bia Mesquita met Nívia Moura in the middleweight and absolute finals, and had to beat her twice to earn the two gold medals.
