JAKARTA\u00a0— The Philippines captured its sixth bronze medal in the 18th Asian Games courtesy of Margarita Ochoa in the women’s Newaza -49-kg. event in the Jiu-jitsu competition at the Jakarta Convention Center Assembly Hall here on Friday.<\/p>\n

Ochoa, a gold medalist in the 2018 Asian Championships in Kazakhstan, defeated compatriot Jenna Kaila Napolis in the bronze medal round with a score of 2-0.<\/p>\n

Ochoa, who also pocketed the gold in the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Turkmenistan, won over Yasmeen Alkhatib of Jordan by superiority before beating Siramol Deepudsa of Thailand, 2-0.<\/p>\n

She lost to Thi Thanh Minh Duong of Vietnam (by superiority) in her match but won over Bayarmaa Munkhgerel of Mongolia in the repechage to forge a showdown with Napolis.<\/p>\n

“I had mixed feelings. I’m happy to win the bronze but I’m sad that I have to beat my teammate and friend,” said the 28-year-old Ochoa, a Management graduate of Ateneo de Manila, in an interview after the match.<\/p>\n

Six more Filipinos remain in the competition, including 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games gold medalist Annie Ramirez (-55-kg.).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Carlos Edriel Yulo failed to deliver in the men’s artistic gymnastics competition at the Jakarta International Exhibition Center in Kemayoran.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old Yulo scored 13.662 points to place fourth in the men’s vault event that was won by Wai Hung Shek of Hong Kong (14.612 points).<\/p>\n

In fencing, the men’s foil team of Nathaniel Perez, Michael Nicanor, and Brennan Wayne Louie lost to the South Korean squad of Ha Tagyu, Heo Jun, and Lee Kwang-hyun, 19-45, in the quarterfinal round.<\/p>\n

The Philippines made it to the quarters after posting a 45-3 victory over Nepal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
