Vi also won a silver medal in the girls’ individual, 15-17 years old category.
Talking to reporters, Trương Ngọc Để, president of the Việt Nam Taekwondon Federation, said the tournament was an opportunity for young athletes to increase their experience in international competitions. The games also allow them to build contacts with friends throughout the world.
