Sophia Nicole Novino and Rhian Napoles ruled their respective weight categories in judo at the 8th Philippine Sports Commission Women’s Martial Arts Festival held at the Philippine Judo Federation …
Rhian Napoles claimed the -48kg title at the expense of Mariana Alicia Roces after going through bronze medalist Jamila Abanador in the semifinals while Shanaia Yve Febrer and Jhenica Serrano reigned supreme in the -32kg and -40kg divisions.
Novino seemed to have adjusted well in her transition from judo kata to sparring after the Muntinlupa Judo Club standout convincingly defeated Villafranca and Dizon in the preliminaries on the way to the finals. The six-day festival for the finest Filipino women martial arts athletes is supported by Pocari Sweat and Go21.
The event is part of the country’s initial preparations for the 6th Asian Indoor Martial Arts Games in Bangkok, Thailand next year, exactly 365 days after the closing ceremony of the ongoing WMA Festival on Thursday.
