MANILA, Philippines — Alexandria Luz Enriquez fell short in her gold medal bid after bowing to Orapa Senatham of Thailand in a highly contested bout in the women’s under-63 kilogram clash finals on Saturday at the Aichi Budokan in Aichi, Japan. Despite a 0 score card, the Thai won over the Filipina as she scored an advantage for a near-pass or near-sweep. Senatham almost held Enriquez down, but she rolled over and scrambled out before getting a point. In jiu-jitsu, the player should hold his opponent down for at least three seconds to earn a point from the judges.
