At the Gudvangen Glima Championship this summer, the Academy was represented by 18 year old Sport Glima instructor Bjørn Braathen. Instead of fighting in his weight division, Bjørn faught in the heaviest division and won every fight !
Although Bjørn weighs under 80 kg, he easily won every match in the over 80 kg Gudvangen Glima Championship, and won the overall title.
