Kazakhstan Makes a Splash at the 12th World Games in Jiu-Jitsu
The 12th edition of the World Games, held in Chengdu, China from Aug. 7 to 17, saw a significant representation of Kazakh athletes in the sport of jiu-jitsu. The event featured multiple weight categories, and Kazakhstan's jiu-jitsu fighters did not disappoint, with multiple medals being won.

Abu-Bakir's win was not the only notable achievement for Kazakhstan. Bolatbek Seyilkhan earned a bronze medal in the ne-waza discipline of the 77-kilogram category. Nursultan Duisenkulov also won a silver medal in the same weight category, losing to Lucas Andersen from Denmark in the final match with a score of 11:15.
Aslan Kanatbek also added to Kazakhstan's medal tally, winning a bronze medal in the 62-kilogram weight category. The information about these wins was reported by the Sports and Physical Culture Committee's press service.
Unfortunately, the search results do not provide a complete list of full results or medalists for the 12th World Games Jiu-Jitsu competition, nor do they mention any results or medalists specifically for Kazakhstan in this event. However, it is clear that Kazakhstan's jiu-jitsu fighters made a strong showing at the Games, with Abu-Bakir's gold medal win marking a significant achievement for the country.
In summary, no detailed final results or medalists in jiu-jitsu involving Kazakhstan have been found in the search results for the 12th World Games. More specific official results or a dedicated competition report would be needed for a full breakdown and for Kazakhstan's performance details.
