SINGAPORE – Ju-jitsu exponent Noah Lim won his second straight silver at the Ju-Jitsu World Championships in the men’s ne-waza under-69kg on Aug 7.

A closely fought final at the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi saw the United Arab Emirates’ Alfadhli Omar win by one advantage point after a 2-2 tie.

On the way to the final, the 23-year-old Lim beat his opponents from Colombia and the Philippines, as well as a neutral athlete, by submission.

The result puts the three-time SEA Games champion in good stead ahead of the Sept 19-Oct 5 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

At the Hangzhou Asiad in 2023, Lim lost to South Korean bronze medallist Joo Seong-hyeon in the quarter-finals.
