On August 22, in the Philippines, Vietnamese swimmers won two more gold medals in the mixed 4x1,500m relay events.
Vietnam claimed gold in the senior mixed 4x1,500m relay as Do Ngoc Vinh, Nguyen Kha Nhi, Le Huynh Tu Uyen and Cao Van Dung finished first in 1 hour, 13 minutes and 20 seconds, beating Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.
A year ago, Nguyen Kha Nhi, a member of the Ho Chi Minh City sports delegation and the Vietnam swimming team, was part of the mixed 4x1,500m relay squad that won gold at the 2025 Southeast Asian Open Water Swimming Championships.
She was the only member of last year’s gold-medal team to return this year and successfully defended the title with her teammates.
A day earlier, Kha Nhi and Ngoc Vinh had also won individual gold medals in their respective age-group 10km events.
Vietnam also won gold in the mixed 4x1,500m relay for the 14-18 age group. The team comprised Nguyen Vinh Thai Bao, Vo Thi Bao Ngoc, Phan Thi Thuy An and Tran Gia Phuc. The young swimmers delivered a strong performance to finish first in 1 hour, 15 minutes and 43 seconds.
After two days of competition, Vietnam has won five gold medals across the events it has entered.
