Gunnar Nelson

Af hverju er Gunnar Nelson ekki á topp 10 listanum yfir Íþróttamann Íslands árið 2009!!!! [uppfært, kannski útaf því að ju jitsu er ekki innan ÍsÍ!]

Árangur hans á árinu:

8 November - 1. Place in Open Weight Class at the Icelandic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship 2009 in Reykjavik.

8 November - 1. Place in -81 kg Weight Class at the Icelandic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship 2009 in Reykjavik.

18 October - 2. Place in Men's Black Belt -88 kg Weight Class at the the Scandinavian Open BJJ 2009 (Gi) in Stockholm, Sweden.

3 October - 1. Place in Men's Black Belt Medium Heavy Weight at the Pan No-Gi Championship 2009.

3 October - 2. Place (by coin toss-up) in Men's Black Belt Open Weight at the Pan No-Gi Championship 2009.

27 September - 4. Place in Men's Absolute at the ADCC 2009 (in Barcelona).

6 June - 2. Place in Men's Brown Belt Middle Weight at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2009 (Mundials).

18 April - 1. Place in Men's Brown Belt Middle Weight at the New York International Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2009.

18 April - 3. Place in Men's Brown Belt Open Weight at the New York International Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2009.

29 March - 1. Place in Men's Brown Belt Middle Weight at the Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2009 in Carson, California.

Hann er undantekningalaust að berjast við menn sem eru langt um þyngri en hann. Samt er hann að uppskera þennan árangur.

Enginn íslenskur kylfingur á skilið að vera nálægt listanum en Gunnar Nelson ætti allavega að vera á topp 10.
