Thailand topped the ranking with 16 golds, followed by Kazakhstan and the UAE.

Organizers announced that more than 500 athletes from 30 countries and territories competed at the tournament, a record number of participants. Among them, 23 teams grabbed medals.

According to Tran Van Thach, head of the Vietnamese team, all 35 athletes were the best in Vietnam recently. Many will participate in the coming 32nd SEA Games in May in Cambodia.

“It is a good warm-up for us to prepare for the SEA Games and further, the 19th Asian Games,” said coach Bui Dinh Tien.

“Kudos to my athletes who showed great determination and spirit. However, there are still many works to do ahead of important Games. We must keep focused and practice harder to bring home better results.”
