Napolis guns for first gold
Manila Bulletin
|August 12 2025
CHENGDU, China - Kaila Napolis believes in Amiracles, and the faith she has been carrying all while representing the country in big competitions will be tested on Tuesday, Aug. 12, when she guns for her second World Games medal here at the Jianyang Cultural and Sports Centre Gymnasium.
Napolis, who hails from Muntinlupa City, is extra eager to win the gold this time in the women's open ne-waza event after losing by a tiny margin for the silver medal in the -52-kilogram class Sunday night, Aug. 10.
But the odds are stacked against her in an open category where all athletes from Napolis' weight up to the 63kg division go for a scramble. Napolis is unfazed.
"I don't know what will happen ahead since I will be fighting other fighters in heavier divisions, but we'll see what I can do for the country. I'm always ready," she added.
