In the competition – to be held from the 6th to the 8th of May, in Abu Dhabi – the Caio brothers aim to equal or surpass the one performed in the World Championship last year, writes Angop.
Hélio Caio, 16 years old - who competes in the 55-kilogram category and who practices the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu modality - has won gold in the "President's Cup" and "World Professional" as well as bronze in the World of Nations.
His sister, 14-year-old Heliane Caio, won second place, in the 77-kilogram category, at the Jiu-Jitsu world championship, which took place in November 2021.
In addition, the brothers' performance also helped the national team to win the African Jiu-Jitsu Championship, which took place this year in Luanda.
