WORLD CHAMPIONS JORDAN
Dec 12, 2016
Jordan have been crowned world champions of the growing sport of Taekwonjitsu, after hosting the event in Aqaba over the past three days.
The sport is a mix of taekwondo and ju jitsu, both sports which Jordan excels at, so it was no great surprise that the Kingdom won five gold medals, three silver and two bronze to top the rankings.
UAE were second with two gold, two silver and two bronze medals while Algeria took third with one gold and three bronze medals.
A total of 17 countries took part in the championship.
