The Emirati girls impressed on Tuesday, adding four more medals to the country’s tally, including one gold, one silver and two bronze.
Aysha Mohamed Aljneibi won gold in the 63kg category, while Fatema Jamal Al Ghafri took silver in the 40kg division. Haira Al Dhaheri earned bronze in the same category, and Fatema Alkathiri added bronze in the 44kg division after a series of tough matches.
Mubarak Saleh Al Menhali, Director of the Technical Department at the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation, praised the team’s performance, saying the results reflect the strong support Emirati women receive from the country’s leadership and the Federation's commitment to developing future champions.
He said, “The results today show how much jiu-jitsu has progressed in the UAE. The girls showed confidence, focus and tactical awareness, which reflect the quality of the Federation's training programmes.

Republicans just got a wake-up call on their midterm maps
After widespread defeats in last week's off-year elections, Republicans should realize they made a bad bet by following President Donald Trump's lead on mid-decade redistricting. Desperate not to lose the House in the midterms, the president sought to rig the game. He pressured legislatures in red states to create new Republican-leaning districts, and lawmakers duly redrew their maps. That weakened some safe red seats, but the GOP assumed that it would hurt Democrats more. Last Tuesday's results demonstrate the folly of Trump's gamble.
