PHILIPPINE bets in jiu-jitsu, billiards, and bowling reaped success in tournaments in the United Arab Emirates to lead the Filipino honor roll for November.
Jenna Napolis touched off the trifecta of feats when she captured the bronze medal in the minus 52kg women’s adult event of the JJIF World Championships at the Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi.
Napolis pulled off two submissions against Aigerim Kuatkyzy of Kazakhstan to finish No. 3 behind champion Moldier Mekenbayeva of Kazakhstan and Duong Thi Thanh Minh of Vietnam.
Fancied cue master Carlo Biado also struck gold, dominating the Abu Dhabi Open 9-ball Championship at the Power Break Billiards Hall. The reigning US Open champion overwhelmed compatriot Jordan Banares in the finals 13-6 to complete his unbeaten run in the 64-man competition.
