Caio Terra Wins Euros Gold With A Broken Finger
Caio Terra made his debut in the masters division at the IBJJF European Championships, but the world champion almost didn't compete due to a broken finger. 

Fighting in the light featherweight division, Terra faced three opponents to win gold. He submitted two of the three: one with a no-arm triangle choke, and another with an armbar. 

Terra was on the fence about competing only two days ago, and was unable to train properly for the competition. 

This marks the first time Terra has ever competed in the +30 division. He plans to return to competing at adult once healed.
