The IBJJF South American Championship 2024 took place on November 17th, 2024 and some of the best grapplers from around the continent competed in the tournament. It was a great day of gi matches and as always, the podium was dominated by the Brazilian competitors. There were quite a few notable names stepping on the mats but two athletes in particular stood out, leaving with a pair of gold medals each. Leonardo Ferreira has only recently been promoted to black belt but he’s already had some excellent performances, and this was another one as he beat several top competitors to win both the heavyweight and absolute divisions.
Amanda Magda was just as entertaining in her run to become the women’s double champion, also winning the heavyweight and absolute divisions. Leonardo Mario and Wellington Sebastiao were another two big names who won their respective divisions at light-featherweight and middleweight, with both of them winning very tough brackets. Back in the women’s divisions, Welma Moreira was on fire at super-heavyweight and she beat a pair of top competitors on the way to the top of the podium. There were plenty of highlights throughout every bracket really and all in all, it was a great day of matches for the fans in Brazil.
