Senegal shines at the African Jujitsu Championship held in Marrakech

In the +94 kg category of the Fighting System, Mamadou Lamine BA once again demonstrated his superiority, winning the gold medal for the second year in a row. This success allows him to retain his title of African Jujitsu Fighting System Champion, thus confirming his status as leader in his category.

For her part, Harouna Keïta, in the -69 kg category, also shone by winning the bronze medal. He was able to win against opponents from Tunisia and Morocco, in a competition contested by six fighters, including two Moroccans, two Gabonese, a Tunisian and a Senegalese.

In the final ranking of nations, Senegal ranked 3rd with a total of 2 medals (1 gold and 1 bronze), behind Tunisia, which dominated the tournament with 18 medals, including 11 gold, and Morocco, which collected 34 medals, including 9 gold.

This performance of the Senegalese team testifies to the growing level of Jujitsu in Senegal and the preparation of its athletes.

However, these results are obtained by practitioners often faced with difficulties, who need sustained support to continue to make the national colors shine.
