Karate brings gold medal to Vietnam Sports Delegation

On the afternoon of October 6, Vietnamese karate entered the final of the women's team kata event against Malaysia.

Karate won the Asian Games gold medal in the women's team kata event.

In the end, the Vietnamese girls excellently won the gold medal with 42.7 points, while their opponents only got 39 points.

In this category, since there are only 4 participating countries: Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei and Cambodia, the chance for us to reach the final is quite high.

In the semi-finals, the Vietnamese women's kata team easily defeated Cambodia with a score of 40.80.

In the final, the challenge for Luu Thi Thu Uyen and her teammates was much more difficult when they had to face Malaysia.

In this event, Malaysia competed first and performed quite well, scoring 39 points.

The trio of athletes Naccy, Niathalia and Lovelly performed the test quite perfectly, evenly, beautifully and without any mistakes.

Therefore, the Vietnamese women's kata team encountered many difficulties in the following competition.

In the end, the judges gave the Vietnamese kata team 42.7 points, thereby bringing home the gold medal.
