Flamengo secured both the men’s division and overall team titles at the Trofeo Brasil Junior de Judo, concluding the individual competitions at the Ginásio Polideportivo Adib Moysés Dib in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo. The club finished the tournament atop the standings with three gold medals and two bronze medals.
Decisive Gold Medals Secure Overall Victory
The final day of individual bouts delivered two crucial gold medals for the Rio de Janeiro club. Clarisse Vallim captured the women’s under-70kg division, while Ruan Vasconcelos triumphed in the men’s under-90kg category. Monique Silva added a bronze medal on Saturday in the women’s under-78kg division.
These weekend performances built on earlier results from the tournament schedule. Vinicius Oliveira claimed gold in the men’s under-60kg category, and Manuela Maia earned bronze in the women’s under-63kg division during previous sessions.
Ruan Vasconcelos Bounces Back for Men’s Title
In the men’s competition, Flamengo secured first place in the club standings largely due to the gold medals won by Vinicius Oliveira and Ruan Vasconcelos. Ruan’s victory carried particular significance following his performance at the Campeonato Brasileño Junior the previous month, where he finished as the runner-up in the under-81kg category. Moving up to the under-90kg division for this tournament, the judoka advanced through the bracket to reach the top of the podium.
Tournament Conclusion
The individual events took place at the Ginásio Polideportivo Adib Moysés Dib in São Bernardo do Campo. The Trofeo Brasil Junior concludes with the mixed team competition scheduled for Sunday.
