| Vietnam’s shuttlecock team bags all seven golds at ABG5. |
The sports in which Vietnamese athletes gained golds include pencat silak, shuttlecock, athletics, traditional martial arts, bodybuilding, muay, kurash, vovinam, woodball, wrestling, handball, pentanque, jujitsu and sambo.
This is a great advance of Vietnam’s sports delegation because in ABG4 held in Phuket, Thailand in 2014, the sports delegation of Vietnam finished fifth with only eight golds.
