The pair of "ghost-fearing" boxers won the first SEA Games 33 medal for Vietnam.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Two judokas, Phung Thi Hong Ngoc and Nguyen Ngoc Bich, competed confidently and excellently, winning a bronze medal in Jujitsu. This is also the first medal for the Vietnamese sports delegation at this year's SEA Games.

This morning (December 10), the Jujitsu events at the 33rd SEA Games officially entered the competition day. In the women's Duo Show performance, the Vietnamese sports delegation participated with two martial artists Phung Thi Hong Ngoc and Nguyen Ngoc Bich.

Phùng Thị Hồng Ngọc and Nguyễn Ngọc Bích transformed into "zombies" and confidently stepped into their creative performance.

Sharing their thoughts on this unique idea, the two fighters said they considered many different scenarios before deciding on the "zombie" act. Interestingly, the reason for their choice stemmed from their shared fear of ghosts, and this very humor became the material they used to transform their fear into an emotionally rich and impressive performance on the mat.

In the stands, Vietnamese fans were present early and cheered enthusiastically for the boxers on the field. The applause and enthusiastic cheers added fighting spirit to the athletes in each competition.

Each movement was performed by the two fighters decisively, rhythmically and with full concentration, demonstrating the harmony that came from months of practice. Their performance brought a feeling of certainty, strength but still softness, captivating the entire audience with every movement.

With 47.5 points from the pair Phung Thi Hong Ngoc and Nguyen Ngoc Bich, Vietnam ranked third, behind two Thai teams: Thailand team 1 with 50.5 points and Thailand team 2 with 48.5 points.

With this result, the Vietnamese sports delegation won the bronze medal. This is also the first medal of the Vietnamese delegation at the 33rd SEA Games.

Also this morning, Vietnamese male Jujitsu fighters also participated in the exhibition competition.

Martial artist pair Sai Cong Nguyen and Nguyen Anh Tung competed confidently in the men's Dou Show performance.
