In judo, Nugzar Tatalashvili is set to complete tomorrow, while Aram Grigorian will face his next opponent on Wednesday, and Dzhafar Kostoev will compete on Thursday. Runner Maryam Al Farsi will compete in the 100m race on 2 August, and the equestrian team starts show jumping on 1 August. You can find the schedule for Team UAE here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
