Marc Lim wins gold, Meggie Ochoa suffers injury to settle for silver in SEAG jiu-jitsu


Jiu jitsu added two more medals to the Philippines' haul in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games on Sunday in Cambodia.

Marc Lim won the country's 13th gold medal in the biennial meet after taking down Vietnam's Dinh Tung Dang in the final match of the men's ne-waza nogi -69kg event.

Meanwhile, Meggie Ochoa settled for silver after losing to Cambodia's bet in the women's ne-waza nogi -52kg event.

Ochoa suffered an apparent injury after she was carried on her way out of the venue.
