What a weekend. A week ago, a team flew 1500 km into Kyiv, Ukraine, to join @nogigregor for the later part of the camp, and then took an 8-hour train Friday to compete in Zaporizhnia over the weekend. With the team’s only 3rd competition, 2 golds, 3 silvers and 3 bronzes was the total outcome, but more importantly, more data inputs to continue growing a team. @zojagostencnik , at her 2nd competition as a white belt, stepped up to blue, beating her opponent 17 6 only to succumb to her friend and teammate in the final to an accidental reap earning a silver medal. Both ladies closed out the division. @juresesko had an incredible showing earning Gold, winning all three matches without a single point being scored on him, and earning one submission. Well done. @anejgajsek , coming off knee surgery, tested competition waters for the second time, first as a brand new blue belt earning bronze. @tilen.toplak earned a bronze at blue, losing a tightly contested decision, and could not advance and showcase all of his jiu-jitsu, disappointing coming off two consecutive tournament victories. Great stuff coming from this guy. Andrej had an incredible showing earning bronze via three submissions, losing a decision against a very game opponent, and showcasing great resolve in the mixed Absolutes. Of course, it is always great to see our Ukrainian 10th Planet Blue Belt and ZR friend, @fl1rryjiu , earning silver in gi at her weight and absolutes and winning Gold in no-gi. With the team’s only 3rd competition, we keep improving. We want to thank the @tms_league for a professionally run event. We look forward to being back very soon
