On Friday, August 30, 2019, Kenya's Tong-IL Moo-Do team, popularly known as Jasiri, completed the World Martial Arts Mastership Championship in second position with a total of nine medals.
After winning two gold medals the previous day, Kenyans found the going a bit tough on Friday as they failed to secure any gold medal, managing only two silver and two bronze medals.
However, the Kenyan team did better than the 2016 championship, where they finished third, bagging eight medals which included one gold, two silver and two bronze medals.
Kenya's Rose Wacheke Muthui won the silver medal in the women's Sparring +65kg event after losing 10-4 to Thailand's Kachana Dawan in the final clash.
Despite being tired due to a short time gap between her two fights, Muthui promised to train hard when she gets back home to prepare for other competitions, including the same event.
She said, 'I lost to a better competitor but I'll start training when I get back home and I'm going to punish all competitors I'm going to face in the forthcoming championship.'
