“We had a very good teamwork today. The group kept the momentum with the top form and high speed for the best finish. It all paid off,” Thảo said.
“We reserve the gold medal for all people and fans on the Thuỷ Nguyên rowing centre today. People did their best to support us from the qualifying rounds on May 10. We express our thanks to the people, coaches, managers and teammates for the gold medal finish,” she said.
A strange turn of events in the men’s lightweight double sculls lead to two teams finishing with bronze. Vietnamese duo Nguyễn Văn Hiếu and Nguyễn Văn Hà finished with a time of 8min 16.14sec, the exact same time as Cambodia’s Somrach Chov and Sophean Phorn.
