Road To Euros Gold: Eduardo & Camila Roque

Continuing the inspiring trend of sibling running the show at the European Championships, brother/sister duo Eduardo & Camila Roque both took home top honors in featherweight purple belt divisions.  

As the results imply, It was an outstanding showing from both competitors. Both of them submitted a majority of their opponents on the way to their gold medals.

The pair compete under the small but mighty Gordo Jiu-Jitsu flag and have been running through the competition as blue belts, and it seems the transition to purple belt couldn't have gone smoother. Eduardo is now a two-time European Champion, having taken home first place in 2018 as a blue belt.
