The Wushu team performed brilliantly and won 5 gold medals.
Runner Nguyen Thi Oanh finished first in the women's 10,000m run and won her fourth gold at this SEA Games.
Oanh earned her previous 3 gold medals with the 5,000m, 1,500m, and 3,000m obstacle runs, coming out on top despite disadvantageous scheduling.
Oanh has been hailed as having "superhuman" power after winning two golds in the 1,500m and 3,000m obstacle runs on Tuesday with just a 20-minute interval between the two races.
