HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam ended the seventh Aerobic Gymnastics Asian Championships with five gold medals on September 5 in Pattaya, Thailand.

On the last day of competitions, Vietnamese athletes pocketed four golds in both junior and senior categories.

Lê Hoàng Phong and Trần Ngọc Thúy Vi won in the over-18 Mixed Pairs. They then joined with Nguyễn Chế Thanh to triumph in the over-18 Trios event.
