The medium heavyweight division (as with the absolute) of the 2012 Pan-American Jiu-Jitsu Championship lost one of its most likely candidates for a gold medal. André Galvão, a decorated team Atos representative, suffered a leg injury and will have to sit this one out.
“I’ve got a little leg problem, so I’d rather recoup 100% for the World Pro [WPJJ] in Abu Dhabi,” he told GRACIEMAG.com over the phone. “I was doing a good job of training, and I waited till the last minute to decide, but I felt it was better to spare myself and not aggravate the contusion.”
