Al-Sharbati bids farewell to the Taekwondo Grand Prix

Yesterday, the national taekwondo team player Saleh Al-Sharbati concluded his participation in the third round of the Grand Prix (G6) series, hosted by the French capital Paris, after being eliminated in the round of 16 in the under 80 kg category.

Al-Sharbati exited the tournament after losing to Serbian Stefan Taacov with a score of 2-0, after starting his journey with a victory over Spaniard Mikel Garcia with a score of 2-1, reaching the round of 16 before his progress stopped at this stage.

During the past two days, the Jordanian participation achieved three medals, including a silver won by Fadia Kharfan, and two bronzes won by Zaid Mustafa and Ja'far Al-Dawoud, raising Jordan's total in its history of participation in the Grand Prix championships to 20 medals, distributed over five golds, five silvers, and ten bronzes.

This achievement is particularly significant given the status of the Grand Prix championships on the global stage, as they are among the most prominent competitions in taekwondo, featuring the participation of the top 32 players in each weight category, which raises the level of competition and gives the results great technical importance.

The results of the Paris tour were an extension of the distinguished Jordanian participation in the Asian Games - Nagoya 2026, during which the national team achieved five medals, including a gold for Fadia Kharfan and four bronzes for Saleh Al-Sharbati, Zaid Mustafa, Mohamed Al-Adaraba, and Ja'far Al-Dawoud.

Between the Asian Games Nagoya and the Paris tour, the national team continues its presence in international forums, benefiting from the exposure to elite players, as part of the preparation for upcoming events and continuing to compete for podium finishes.
