Vietnam’s "golden hopes” were pinned on Duong Thuy Vi and Hoang Thi Phuong Giang, who accounted for all the three gold medals for the country at the recent 29^th SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with Vi winning two and Giang securing one.

At the previous competition in Jakarta, Indonesia, Vietnam only managed to finish in 14^th place overall, with just four silver and three bronze medals. Previously, in 2013, the team secured three gold medals.
