UAE athlete Khaled Al Shehhi captured the gold medal in the men's 62kg division at the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship in Bangkok, adding another milestone to the UAE's growing record of international jiu-jitsu achievements.
His victory raises the national team's overall medal count to seven, including four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals across the men's and women's divisions so far.
Among those attending the day's competitions and the medal ceremony were Obaid Saeed Al Dhaheri, UAE Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand; Panagiotis Theodoropoulos, President of the Jiu-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF); Mohamed Salem Al Dhaheri, Vice Chairman of the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation; and Fahad Ali Al Shamsi, Secretary-General of the UAE and Asian Jiu-Jitsu Federations, along with several officials and representatives from participating delegations.
Al Shehhi's triumph came after a commanding performance throughout his matches, where he showcased outstanding technical and physical ability. His display reflects both the continued development of jiu-jitsu in the UAE and the high level of professional preparation enjoyed by national team athletes under the guidance and support of the country's leadership and federation.
