Livia Barasine Correa, a formidable presence in the adult black belt division with an Elo rating of 1836 and a world rank of #32, continued her golden streak at the Rio Spring International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2026 on October 17. Representing Fabin Rosa Rio de Janeiro, Correa achieved a double gold, dominating both the Medium Heavy and Open Class divisions. This impressive feat adds two more golds to her already stellar record of 45 career golds from 47 medals.
Correa's Double Gold Run in Rio Gi
Correa’s path to double gold involved six hard-fought matches. In the Medium Heavy division, she advanced to the final after her semi-final opponent, Leticia Lamonica Salvador Caliman (Elo 935; rank #154150), was disqualified. She then secured the gold by defeating unrated Ana Clara Caetano de Souza in the final. While the win over Caliman was a routine victory given the opponent's ranking, it demonstrated Correa's consistent presence at the top.
Her Open Class campaign saw her navigate a four-match bracket. Correa began by defeating unrated Thayene Faria de Lira in the opening round. She then secured a routine win over Ivhalaynie Ferreira Meira (Elo 970; rank #139252) in the quarter-final. Her semi-final match saw her overcome unrated Jhenifer Barboza dos Santos Canezin, leading to a final showdown where she defeated unrated Natacha Amanda Ribeiro da Silva to claim her second gold of the day. This double gold performance further solidifies her position as one of the sport's elite, building on recent golds at the Rio Spring No-Gi 2026 (Medium Heavy), Curitiba Summer 2026 (Medium Heavy), Curitiba Summer 2026 (Open Class), and Rio Summer No-Gi 2026 (Open Class).
Roberto de Abreu Filho's Fort Lauderdale Double Golds
Roberto de Abreu Filho, an adult black belt with an Elo rating of 1613 and a world rank of #107, delivered a commanding performance at the Fort Lauderdale International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship 2026 on October 17, securing double gold in the Ultra Heavy and Open Class divisions. This brought his career gold count to 52 from 78 medals. His dominance continued at the Fort Lauderdale International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2026 (Gi), also on October 17, where he once again achieved double gold in the Ultra Heavy and Open Class divisions.
Abreu Filho's No-Gi Dominance
At the No-Gi event, Abreu Filho won four matches to claim both titles. In the Ultra Heavy division, he secured routine wins over Luccas Lira Costa (Elo 1255; rank #1203) in the semi-final and Christiano Tayfour Troisi Moreira (Elo 967; rank #145571) in the final. His Open Class bracket mirrored this success, with routine wins over Christiano Tayfour Troisi Moreira in the final and Luccas Lira Costa in the semi-final. The smaller field in these divisions highlights his ability to consistently close out brackets against established competitors.
Abreu Filho's Gi Double Gold
The Gi championship saw Abreu Filho win five matches en route to his double gold. In the Ultra Heavy division, he defeated Leonardo Amora Gosling (Elo 1112; rank #5386) on the way to gold, before securing a routine win over Abraham J Marte Messina (Elo 1192; rank #2217) in the final. His Open Class journey included a quarter-final victory over unrated Alexander William Morales, a semi-final win against unrated Igor Nascimento da Costa Feliz, and a final triumph over Luccas Lira Costa (Elo 1255; rank #1203), marking another routine win. These back-to-back double golds underscore Abreu Filho's consistent high-level performance, adding to a list of recent golds that includes Ft. Lauderdale 2026 (Open Class), Ft. Lauderdale 2026 (Ultra Heavy), Ft. Lauderdale No-Gi 2026 (Ultra Heavy), Ft. Lauderdale No-Gi 2026 (Open Class), and Miami Winter 2026 (Ultra Heavy).
Correa's No-Gi Gold
The day before her double gold performance, Livia Barasine Correa also competed at the Rio Spring International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship 2026 on October 16. Here, she secured a gold medal in the Medium Heavy division, winning three matches. Her route to gold included a victory over Leticia Lamonica Salvador Caliman (Elo 935; rank #154150) by disqualification and a final win against unrated Ana Clara Caetano de Souza. While she secured a routine win over Angela Paz Correa Alarcon (Elo 1009; rank #61975) in the Open Class quarter-final, her run for a second gold was halted in the semi-final by unrated Julia Kalliane da C dos Santos. Despite not achieving double gold in the No-Gi event, her consistent medal-winning performances continue to cement her status as a top-tier competitor.
