Shooting opened the scoring with a gold medal on the third day of official competition.
In the final match against their Thai opponents, the two Vietnamese athletes had a better start, leading 6-0 after 3 rounds. However, the home team's pair gradually regained their confidence to equalize. The two sides competed fiercely until the score reached 12-12 before the Thai athletes pulled ahead 14-12, moving closer to the championship.
