Rio de Janeiro, Dhu-AlQa'dah 16, 1437, August 19, 2016, SPA -- Ahmad Abughaush guaranteed Jordan a first-ever Olympic medal Thursday when he defeated Spaniard Joel Gonzalez in the semi-finals of the men's 68-kilogramme taekwondo, according to dpa. Abughaush surprised Gonzalez, the 2012 winner in the 58kg event, with an attacking style, leading 7-0 after two rounds en route to a final 12-7 decision. "Just the level of the athlete. It's difficult to have this fighting in this competition," Gonzalez said in reference to Abughaush's style. Abughaush will compete for gold against Russia's Alexey Denisenko who beat Jaouad Bachat of Belgium 6-1 in the other semi-final. --SPA 03:30 LOCAL TIME 00:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
