Cambodia defeats UAE to win gold in women's 49 kg ju-jitsu at Asian Games
24 Aug 2018
Cambodia's Jessa Khan defeated the United Arab Emirates' Alhinaai Mahra to win gold in the Newaza Women's 49kg ju-jitsu event on Friday at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta.
Margarita Ochoa from the Philippines - who dominated last year's Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Turkmenistan - was a favorite to win gold but lost her quartefinal match to Duong Thi Thanh Minh of Vietnam.
Ochoa won the bronze against compatriot Kaila Napolis, who had lost to Khan.
This is Cambodia's only medal at the competition so far, while the UAE has won two golds and three silver medals.

Reminder about why this is a big deal for Cambodia: This will be Cambodia's second medal EVER in the Asian Games, after Sorn Seavmey's mythic Gold in 2014.

Money is not the problem, the problem is no money
Re: Breaking: Jessa Khan Wins Asian Games Gold Medal for Cambodia !
Could be.
Hell, with all these Chinese buying citizenship for land grabbing purposes...we might soon see 'Cambodians' taking the gold in table-tennis.
Anyway, Well Done to Jessa
Is there a Jiu Jitsu dojo in Phnom Penh? That's a righteous martial art and I'd be very keen to sign up for classes.
