MEDALS FOR JORDAN IN EUROPE

Jordan’s jiu jitsu world champion Lama Qubbaj and the impressive Ruba Sayegh have been in tremendous form at the IBJJF European Open Championships.

The event has attracted the world’s best and the pair underlined their current form by clinching two golds and a bronze over the weekend in Lisbon, Portugal.

Seyagh led the way, winning double gold in the Purple Master 1 Middle Weight Class, beating Tatiana Lyrnyk in the final. She then went on to clinch gold in the Purple Open Class, beating Oxana Bench who had earlier won silver in the Medium Heavy category.

Black Iris Sports Awards contender Qubbaj once again proved that she is up there with the best of them by securing a bronze medal in the competitive Purple Adult Super Heavy category which was won by veteran Eva Bisseni of France.
