Omar Nada, an 18-year-old jiu-jitsu player from the Saudi National team, secured the bronze medal in the under-85 kg weight category, marking the conclusion of Saudi Arabia's participation in the 19th Asian Games. With this victory, Saudi Arabia's total medal count increased to 10, comprised of 4 gold, 2 silver, and 4 bronze medals. The Asian Games are set to conclude on Sunday.

Nada, who is the youngest athlete in the Saudi delegation at Hangzhou, has etched his name in history as the youngest Saudi player to secure a medal in the prestigious tournament.

If this is to be Mohamed Salah's final season at Liverpool, he is going out with a bang.
The Egypt forward scored two goals and set up two more in Liverpool's wild 6-3 win at Tottenham on Sunday to become the first player to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas in a Premier League season, stats supplier Opta said.
“I didn't think about it before the game, to be fair,” Salah said. “But it's something that makes me happy and proud. I just keep working hard.”
Salah moved onto 15 goals for the campaign and that's more than anyone else, with Manchester City's Erling Haaland the closest rival on 13, The Associated Press reported.
Salah has won the Golden Boot for the leading scorer in the Premier League three times, on his own in 2017-18 before sharing it in 2018-19 and 2021-22.
Salah's contract expires at the end of the season and asked after the match if there was an update on the situation, he said: “No.”
