MUSTAFA TAKES GRAND PRIX SILVER

Zaid Mustafa has won a silver medal in the -68kg competition at the second round of the World Taekwondo Grand Prix (G6) being hosted in Paris, France.
Mustafa cruised to the final with four exceptional victories, before losing the gold medal match to Spain’s Javier Perez – the silver medallist at the last world championship.
Mustafa opened up his account with a victory over German fighter, Imran Ozkaya, before beating Brazil’s Edval Pontes and France’s Dylan Chelamoto.
But he then picked up the most impressive scalp of his career in defeating the British world number one and world champion, Bradley Sinden, silver medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, to reach the final.
This is Mustafa’s first Grand Prix medal, showing he is now firmly established among the sport’s elite fighters.
It is also Jordan’s second medal for the year, following on from Juliana Al-Sadiq’s silver in the last round, in Rome, Italy. However, she was eliminated at the quarter-final stage this time though.
One the same day, Zaid Al-Halawani lost his opening -68kg fight to France’s Theo Lusin.
Rama Abu Al-Rub will conclude the national team's participation on Sunday in the -67kg competition.
Since the Grand Prix series began, Jordan has won eight medals, including two gold, three silver and three bronze.
