United
Arab Emirates (UAE) ju-jitsu athlete Alketbi Faisal won a gold medal in the
2018 Asian Games men’s 94 kilogram category after stopping the counteraction of
Jordan’s Sami Zaid in a win by referee decision.
In
a match taking place at the Jakarta Convention Center in Senayan, Jakarta, on
Saturday, the heavyweight ju-jitsu fighters fought intensely.
Both
Sami and Alketbi were seeking every chance to ensure a submission position by grabbing
each other’s attire, arms and legs. But the two gained no points until the
match ended in five minutes.
Based
on the judges’ and referee’s decision, Sami and Alketbi each secured an
advantage and got two penalties.
The
referee decided a victory for Alketbi because he was evaluated as having more
actively initiating attacks to tighten submission stances.
Meanwhile,
the Republic of Korea’s Hwang Myengse grabbed a bronze medal through his
submission move over Kussainov Ramazan from Kazakhstan.
The
other bronze was seized by Kazakstan’s Makhashev Rizat after ending the
resistance of his opponent from Uzbekistan, Juraev Ilkhom, with a 3-0
advantage.
The
ju-jitsu competition in the 2018 Asian Games was held in the Assembly Hall of
the Jakarta Convention Center on Aug. 24-26.
