Emirati fighters won four gold, four silver and five bronze medals in the 15 weight categories that were on the mats on Friday during the first day of the two-day Ramadan Cup at the Armed Forces Officers Club. Elevated to black belt, Taleb Saleh Al Kirbi is the second Emirati to achieve that honour and edged out his national team teammate Mohammed Al Qubaisi in the 76-kilogram weight class, which was the highlight from Friday's action.
