"I was the first athlete to compete in the first event so it was a little pressure. Despite sixth place, I still felt good because I thought I did my job well and I told myself to do better in the afternoon,"大众said former world champion Vi, who said this will be her last Asian Games.

"I kept myself in the most comfortable mode. I competed as I trained at home. Trying to do my best and have no minus points. Anyway, I am happy with what I have done, happy with the final result."

This is the first medal of Việt Nam's wushu team which still has a chance to earn more with athletes in the semi-finals of the sanshou (combat) competitions.
