Mizfits won the 2nd Humanitarian Grappling Marathon in Zadar. A storm stopped the marathon after 30 rounds. Nikola Ercegović, Aljoša “Zip” Grassi and Ivo “Frusta” Vatavuk completed every round. Mizfits had the most representatives on the mat, so the organizers declared our team the winner of the marathon.
Thirty rounds before the storm stopped the marathon
Everything at Kolovare stopped when the weather became too rough to continue. Nikola, Zip and Frusta had stayed in the rhythm from the first round to the last. Thirty rounds is serious work, especially outdoors, where the pace gets harder as the marathon goes on.
Mizfits had the biggest team on the mat
We travelled to Zadar with a full team, as we announced in our preview of the 2nd Humanitarian Grappling Marathon. Our numbers on the mat settled the organizers’ decision, and the win went to Mizfits. The linked article is in Croatian.
The marathon raised funds for the Svjetlo Association, which helps people with intellectual disabilities. Events like this bring clubs together in a good way. You get rounds in and help someone who needs it.
At the first edition in 2024, Marko Volarević, Duje Dobronić and Ivo Vatavuk completed 12, 28 and 34 rounds. We wrote about that day in our report from the first Humanitarian Grappling Marathon in Zadar. That article is also in Croatian. This year, Mizfits comes home with a team win. OSS!
