S. Korea wins two silvers, two bronzes in jiu-jitsu

South Korea claimed four medals, comprising two silvers and two bronzes, in jiu-jitsu at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held on Friday. Park Sung-hu secured the silver medal following a submission loss to Omar Tariq N Nada of Saudi Arabia in the men's 94-kilogram final at the Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall in Nagoya, Japan.

Struggling to catch up after the final commenced, Park signaled his defeat by tapping the mat as his opponent applied a joint lock. This marked Park's first international medal. Later, Im Eon-ju claimed the silver medal after a 4-0 defeat to defending champion Asma Alhosani of the United Arab Emirates in the women's 52kg jiu-jitsu final, earning two advantages but conceding two two-point techniques.

Kim Hee-dong added a bronze medal in the men's 94kg event, while Park Jae-won also won bronze in the men's 77kg event, following an all-Korean bronze-medal match.
