The men’s team, comprising Truong Minh Sang, Nguyen Minh Tuan, Hau Trung Linh, and Pham Phuoc Hung, performed well to beat the hosts and grab a gold medal for the team event.

Its ‘sweet revenge’ for the Vietnamese team that lost to Thailand in the men’s team event two years ago at the SEA Games.

In the men’s all-around competition, Pham Phuoc Hung grabbed a silver medal.

The women’s team finished fourth in the contest behind powerhouses Malaysia and Thailand. But Phan Thi Ha Thanh secured a gold in the women’s individual all-round performance, which consists of the balance beam, parallel bars, floor exercise and vault.

Vietnam still hopes to win more medals in the upcoming men’s and women’s individual events.
