* In the women's team kata event, the trio of Nguyen Thi Phuong, Luu Thi Thu Uyen, and Nguyen Ngoc Tram excellently defeated the Malaysian martial artists - who were highly regarded in the performance kata event.
The Malaysian women's kata team performed first with three athletes: Naccy, Niathalia, and Lovelly. The Malaysian girls displayed good composure and coordination during their 5-minute performance. However, the Malaysian women's kata team only scored 39 points.
Meanwhile, thanks to thorough preparation, the Vietnamese female athletes performed consistently, showcasing many creative and challenging forms with greater determination.
The poise and decisiveness of Luu Thi Thu Uyen, Nguyen Thi Phuong, and Nguyen Ngoc Tram were also judged to be superior to their opponents. With 42.7 points, the Vietnamese women's kata team won the gold medal.
This is the first gold medal for the Vietnamese karate team, and also the third gold medal for the Vietnamese sports delegation at ASIAD 19.

This victory belongs to martial artist Nguyen Thi Ngoan, after she faced the host country's martial artist Gong Li in the women's 61k kumite (sparring) event.
Faced with the overwhelming strength and relentless attacks of Gong Li, the bronze medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Nguyen Thi Ngoan was virtually unable to land a blow or defend herself.
She lost by a margin of 0-9 in just 72 seconds of the final, settling for second place. Nguyen Thi Ngoan brought home the fourth silver medal for the Vietnamese sports delegation at ASIAD 19.
