Friday, the National Taekwondo team athlete Saleh Al-Sharabaty qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after defeating his opponent for Kyrgyzstan in the semi-finals.

Sharbaty, who competes in the 80kg weight class, won with a score of thirty-six to six, making him the second athlete from the national taekwondo team to qualify for the upcoming Olympic games, after Julyana Al-Sadiq qualified Thursday.

Thursday, national taekwondo player Juliana Al-Sadeq also qualified for the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo, making her the first female athlete from Jordan to qualify for the Olympics.
