Vietnam wins another gold medal in Taekwondo at the 33rd SEA Games.

The Vietnamese sports delegation continued to celebrate as the taekwondo team excellently won the gold medal in the mixed creative performance poomsae event. This is also the delegation's second gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games.

The mixed creative kata competition featured four teams: Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, and host country Thailand. Despite competing against traditionally strong teams in the kata system, the Vietnamese team demonstrated superiority, performing a highly challenging kata with precise technique and uniformity in every movement. Their performance was highly praised for its smooth coordination, steady rhythm, and creative artistic expression.

To date, the Vietnamese sports delegation has won 2 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 9 bronze medals at the 33rd SEA Games.

Six athletes contributed to the outstanding performance: Le Tran Kim Uyen, Nguyen Xuan Thanh, Tran Dang Khoa, Tran Ho Duy, Nguyen Thi Y Binh, and Nguyen Phan Khanh Han. All displayed consistent performance and demonstrated excellent acrobatic techniques. This victory also affirms Vietnam's position as one of the sports with the potential to win the most medals at the 33rd SEA Games.

Earlier, Vietnamese taekwondo contributed more medals in standard events. The trio of Nguyen Thi Kim Ha, Le Tran Kim Uyen, and Le Ngoc Han won a bronze medal in the women's team event after being eliminated by Thailand in the semi-finals. In the mixed doubles standard poomsae event, the pair of Trong Phuc and Kim Ha brought home a silver medal, demonstrating good coordination and stable technique despite facing strong opponents from the Philippines and Thailand.

Alongside the achievements of taekwondo, canoeing continued to be a highlight, opening the day's competition with a gold medal for the Vietnamese sports delegation. In the women's 500m double canoe event, Nguyen Thi Huong and Diep Thi Huong displayed an impressive sprint to secure a convincing victory, thus bringing home the first gold medal of the day and creating a positive competitive spirit for the entire delegation.

In chess, the Vietnamese team won a bronze medal in the team blitz maruk event with the participation of chess players Bao Khoa, Dao Thien Hai, Vo Thanh Ninh, and Vu Hoang Gia Bao. Meanwhile, the men's 3x3 basketball team defeated Laos with a score of 21-9, and the women's volleyball team had a successful opening match, winning against Myanmar 3-0, temporarily sharing the top spot in Group B with Indonesia. The team will continue competing at noon on December 11th.

To date, the Vietnamese sports delegation has won 2 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 9 bronze medals in sports such as jujitsu, canoeing, taekwondo, and chess. Among these, the gold medal from the creative poomsae event in taekwondo is considered one of the most notable achievements, thanks to the high level of competition and fierce rivalry among the participating teams.
