Ainda no ritmo das faixas coloridas, o segundo dia do Mundial de Jiu-Jitsu da IBJJF, realizado nesta sexta-feira, dia 1° de junho, na Califa, trouxe ao pódio nomes já conhecidos dos torneios pelo mundo e novas face que ainda vão dar muito o que falar.
Faixas-marrons e roxas dividiram os tatames da Pirâmide de Long Beach, e mais uma leva de campeões mundiais foi conhecida nos EUA. Limitado às divisões de peso-galo, pluma e pena, a faixa-marrom no masculino teve como destaque Kennedy Maciel (Alliance). Filho do inoxidável Rubens “Cobrinha” Charles, Kennedy conquistou mais um ouro mundial, desta vez na marrom, ao superar o tortuoso caminho no peso-pluma, e bater Malachi Edmond (Lloyd Irvin) na finalíssima.
No feminino marrom, porém, plantel completo. Todas as divisões de peso entraram em ação, e o nome de destaque foi o de Gabriela Fechter. A fera da Checkmat conseguiu morder o ouro no absoluto, após ficar com o bronze na divisão de peso-pena. Na final do aberto, Gabi encarou e venceu Larissa Carvalho (Gracie Reunion), que havia vencido mais cedo no peso-pluma.
Já na faixa-roxa, além do sucesso de Roberto Jimenez (Alliance), campeão peso e absoluto no masculino, outro destaque ficou para Gabrieli Pessanha. A pérola da Infight na Cidade de Deus não só faturou peso e absoluto no Mundial, como repetiu o feito em todo o grand slam da IBJJF (Europeu, Pan e Brasileiro).
Outro atleta que conseguiu a façanha de completar o grand slam na faixa-roxa foi o Thalison Soares. O craque da PSLPB Cícero Costha conseguiu o topo do pódio mais uma vez, ao fechar com o companheiro de equipe Francisco Andrade em seu segundo ano na roxa, e foi devidamente graduado à faixa-marrom, com uma nova etapa na sua carreira do Jiu-Jitsu pela frente.
A fera falou com nossa reportagem e detalhou suas expectativas para este novo desafio. Confira a entrevista no vídeo abaixo e os resultados parciais do torneio, após seu segundo dia de lutas. Fique ligado para saber mais. Oss!
