WORLD GAMES SILVER FOR QUBBAJ
Jul 29, 2017
Lama Qubbaj is the toast of Jordan after clinching a silver medal at the World Games taking place in Poland.
The Games feature sports and disciplines not included on the Olympic programme, which gave the Ju-Jitsu star a chance to shine on the global stage.
And she didn’t disappoint, surging her way to the Open Weight final with a semi-final victory over the host nation’s Emilia Mckweik.
But she couldn’t quite secure gold in a tight final against Amal Amjahid of Belgium.
Qubbaj’s medal made it a successful end to competition for Jordan who sent five athletes to compete in Ju-Jitsu, Muaythai and Kickboxing.
