Saudi boxer Al-Baraa Al-Amoudi clinched the gold medal in the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) Senior Championship 2024, held in Greece.
Al-Amoudi, competing in the under-23, 57 kg category, triumphed over a field of international competitors from over 80 countries. This marks a historic first for Saudi Arabia in Thai boxing, SPA reported.
His victory came in a nail-biting final against Russia's Igor Bikruve, where Al-Amoudi edged him out with a score of 29-28.
Al-Amoudi was not the only Saudi athlete to leave their mark on the championship. The Saudi delegation, consisting of 12 fighters, brought home several more medals.

Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pedri have not been included in Spain's Olympic soccer squad for next month's Paris Games despite being young enough to make the team.

The trio are younger than 23 but are playing with Spain at the European Championship in Germany and will get some time off after that tournament ends, The AP reported.

Fermín López and Álex Baena are the only two players who will do the double of Euros and Olympics. The Games tournament is played with under-23 squads but each nation can add three overage players.

Barcelona's teenage defender Pau Cubarsí, who was not included in the Euro squad, made the Olympic team.

The three over-age players picked by Olympic coach Santi Denia in his 22-player list were 23-year-old Sergio Gómez of Manchester City, 24-year-old Abel Ruiz from Sporting Braga and 24-year-old Juan Miranda of Real Betis.

The players will report to training camp on July 1. Spain will debut on July 24 against Uzbekistan. It will then face the Dominican Republic and Egypt in Group C.
