ABU GHAUSH WINS UNIVERSIADE BRONZE

Jordan’s Olympic hero Ahmad Abu Ghaush has continued his brilliant form by clinching a bronze medal, his third of the summer, at the 29th University Games taking place in Chinese Taipei.

The 21-year-old, who is studying at Jordan University, cruised through to the semi-final of the 68kg weight but lost to Russian’s Boris Krasnov 17-15 to settle for bronze.

Earlier he beat Mongolia’s Temmujin Purejav 8-7 in the first round, Canada’s Hunter Carroll 30-26 in the second, before defeating South Korea’s Shin Dongyun 19-2 in the quarter-final.

Abu Ghaush’s medal was another historic moment for Jordan, with it being the first one ever won by the country at the Universiade, which continues through to August 30.
