: Luck was obviously not on the side of national jujitsu exponent Soo Yan Wei when he narrowly missed getting his first 2023 SEA Games medal in the NE-Waza-Nogi men’s under 69 kilogrammes event here today.

National coach Lim Fang Han tried to protest to the referees panel but they stuck to the decision that Hasdee was more deserving of the bronze. “I think the Thai athlete is good. It was a closely fought match but he just had a slight advantage over me. I should have done more against him, especially when trying to overturn my opponent when I was at the bottom,” he told Bernama.Damon said he had improved in Cambodia following his early exit in Manila 2019.

Team manager Sharizal Md Sidek was resigned to accepting the referee’s decision as judging in a combat sport like jujitsu is subjective.
