Big congratulations to Lily on placing second at the ADCC Asia & Oceania Trials in the women’s 65+ division. This was Lily’s first trials and she had a great run in the pool of 17 athletes, getting 3 submissions in quick succession before losing a closely contested final on points. This is an incredible result for the young kiwi girl who’s been chasing different events in different codes all over the globe.. take a fast mental reset Lily, Phillipines is calling tomorrow for the International SAMBO Federation (FIAS) Asian champs!
