Wilians Araujo, who won the same prize in the women's under-57kg, and Alana Maldonado and Lucia Araújo, who claimed silver medals in the women's under-70kg and under-75kg categories respectively, have also been named in the squad.

All six members of the team competed at the International Infraero competition in São Paulo, where host nation Brazil put in an incredible performance, securing 11 gold medals.

The Grand Prix event in Antalya, which takes place from April 18 to 27, gives athletes the chance to put vital world ranking points on the board.

These will help with their bids to qualify for both the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and the 2018 IBSA Judo World Championships, which are being held in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
