Andresa had an outstanding 2016 season coming very close to winning Jiu Jitsu's "Grand Slam" of gold medals in her category and the absolute at all of the prior mentioned major Gi Championships. She missed out narrowly by winning her category but coming third in the absolute at the 2016 World Championship. [3] That year she also won a gold medal in the World Nogi championship.
