Brazilian Youth Athletes Win National Titles in Beach Volleyball and Jiu‑Jitsu

Beach‑volleyball duo Bárbara and Mariana from Camboriú captured the Sub‑19 Brazilian championship in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, and then won the Santa Catarina Open, remaining undefeated throughout both competitions. Their victories marked a historic season for the pair and highlighted Camboriú’s growing prominence in national beach‑volleyball.

Eight‑year‑old Yasmim Vitória of the Project Lutando Pelo Bem in Teresópolis earned double gold at the Rio Winter Open International, winning both the gi and no‑gi categories. She now aims to secure a second Brazilian title at the upcoming no‑gi national championship in September, continuing her rapid rise in Brazilian jiu‑jitsu.
