PHNOM PENH — Jiu jitsu fighter Jenna Kaila Napolis delivered the Philippines’ first gold medal at the hands of a former tormentor in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games after reigning supreme in women’s ne-waza GI 52 kgs at the Chroy Changvar Convention Center here on Thursday.

The 22-year-old Napolis swept all her four assignments, including the final match against hometown bet Jessa Chan, 2-0, before a huge, shocked crowd.

“It was surreal. I still couldn’t believe I won,” Napolis said.

It was a revenge of sorts for Napolis, who lost the gold medal to the same foe in the 49 kgs in the 2019 edition of the biennial meet in Manila.

“I really wanted to win against her this time,” she said.

Napolis opened up her campaign with a 50-0 win over Singapore’s May Yong The, then went on to thump Thailand’s Nuchanat Singchalad, 3-0; and Vietnam’s Thi Huyen Dang, 50-0.

Meanwhile, the men’s duo of Karl and Harvey Navarro lost their matches to Thailand’s Nawin Kokaew and Panuawat Deeyatam, 68-63.5; Cambodia’s Kongmona Mithora and Touch Pikada, 66-59; and Vietnam’s Dinh Khai Ma and Ke Duong Trinh, 64-59.

The Navarros, however, went home with the bronze medal, along with the Vietnamese.
