Joao Miyao’s Cropped Pants Misadventures at the Europeans

Joao Miyao’s Cropped Pants Misadventures at the Europeans

 

Check out this funny video with a great soundtrack showing Joao Miyao’s misadventures in Lisbon:

 

Joao Miyao’s first match at the 2016 Europeans was quite eventful. He passed the initial Gi check as planned, and was ready to step on the mat, implement his game plan of guard pull, berimbolo and back choke against a Japanese opponent. The Gi checker came back at the last second and told him that his pants were too short. He had 5 minutes to get a new longer pair of pants. Someone throws him a pair, he puts them on and they are too big. Third try with a pair that a Checkmat competitor lends him and now they are ok, and he’s good to go.
