However, Thanh Thanh excelled in this rematch to bring home the gold medal for the Vietnamese Judo delegation.

At the end of the Judo competition, the Vietnamese team led with 8 gold medals.

Previously, two Can Tho beach volleyball athletes participating in the 32nd SEA Games also won bronze medals in the women's team event.
