Mr. Nouhoum of Niger was defeated by the Gambian Taekwondo fighter, who advanced to the quarter-finals. Due to his fighting skills and energy, the young Gambian easily defeated Diawara of Mali to move to the semi-finals.
Later in the day, Alasan squared off against Morocco's best fighter, Mr. Ayoub. Unfortunately, he bravely missed a place in the final after a great fight between the two fighters. On the other hand, Alasan Ann won a bronze medal for The Gambia in the ongoing African Championship in Kigali.
