(VOV) – Muay Thai fighter Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat has won Vietnam’s second gold medal at the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG) currently underway in the Republic of Korea (RoK).
In the 57kg division, the Lam Dong-born martial artist defeated Kyrgyzstan’s Daniiar Kashkaraev 5-0 in a final match on July, improving on his silver medal effort at the last AIMAG four years ago.
Two female Vietnamese martial artists—Bui Yen Ly and Phan Thi Ngoc Linh—advanced to the gold medal matches of their respective divisions. But Thai rival Ruchira Wongsriwo defeated Ly in the 51kg final 4-1, while Linh lost to Thai opponent Rachadaphon Wihantamma 0-5 in her 54kg bout.
Swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien won Vietnam’s first gold medal of the games in the women’s 200m individual medley on June 30.
