Jørgen Olsen Øveraas competes for Team Trondheim BJJ, the academy that has spent the past few years building the Trøndelag region's BJJ identity out of a city that historically sat on the edge of the Norwegian map. At the 2026 IBJJF European Championship he took Master 2 Blue/Middle gold — a European title at his belt and division.
A blue belt taking gold at the IBJJF Europeans, even in a Master bracket, is the kind of result that says the Trondheim room is producing competitors who match the European level rather than just the regional one. For the Team Trondheim programme — already home to Selma Essahli Vik and Emil Andre Løvik — Øveraas's gold extends the academy's visible footprint into another European result page.
He is one of the most recent indicators that Trondheim BJJ is no longer simply a remote competitor but a node on the continental circuit.
