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. He clinched the bronze medal by defeating Abdulrahman Haj from Kyrgyzstan in the match for third and fourth place, based on a referee's decision.

Lindsey Vonn's second World Cup race back Sunday after nearly six years of retirement was canceled due to strong winds and poor visibility.

On Saturday, the 40-year-old Vonn placed 14th in a super-G on the Corviglia course in St. Moritz to mark her return to the circuit.

Another super-G had been scheduled for Sunday.

Vonn now won’t race again until the next speed weekend in St. Anton, Austria on Jan. 11-12, which features a downhill and a super-G.

There was no immediate announcement if Sunday's race would be made up later in the season.
