Ghanaian judoka, Emmanuel Nartey, resisted a fierce challenge last Saturday night to upstage his Spanish counterpart, Javier Ramirez, to win a gold medal in the Under- 73 kilogramme category at the African Open Championship in Casablanca, Morocco.
The 32-year-old, who is a serving officer in the British Army, emerged victorious in all his five previous fights on his way to defeating much-fancied Ramirez in the final.
