Alongside Thuy Vi’s victory, the Vietnamese Wushu team captured an additional silver medal in the women’s Taiji Jian (Tai Chi Sword) competition, with Tran Thi Khanh Ly scoring 9.55 points.

China currently leads the medal standings with four golds, successively followed by Hong Kong (China), Vietnam and Chinese Taipei with one title each.

Vietnam’s "golden hopes” were pinned on Duong Thuy Vi and Hoang Thi Phuong Giang, who accounted for all the three gold medals for the country at the recent 29^th SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with Vi winning two and Giang securing one.

At the previous competition in Jakarta, Indonesia, Vietnam only managed to finish in 14^th place overall, with just four silver and three bronze medals. Previously, in 2013, the team secured three gold medals.
