Vietnam concludes ASIAD 20 with 25 medals

Overview

The Vietnamese delegation has concluded its campaign at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, finishing with a total of 25 medals. The final tally consists of 3 gold, 3 silver, and 19 bronze medals. The gold medals were secured in karate and sepak takraw.

While the delegation saw notable individual performances, such as wushu athlete Dinh Van Tam winning a bronze medal despite an injury, the three gold medals fell short of the initial target of five for key disciplines. This follows earlier successes in Teqball and women’s karate kata, as well as the team's progression through the knockout stages of football.

In a separate development related to the games, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense is considering the revocation of military service exemptions for gold medalists at the Asian Games and Olympics following controversial remarks made by a U23 player.
