Thailand is chasing closely behind with 64 gold medals at the third place on the tally.
Pencak Silat players made big contribution when they gained six gold medals yesterday in Indonesia -- home of the martial art.
Vo Duy Phuong, Tran Van Toan and Le Dang Minh crowned the titles in men’s divisions of under 55kg, 60kg and 90kg. Nguyen Huong Xuan, Nguyen Thi Yen and Tran Thi Luyen clinched the other three golds in women’s under-55kg, 65kg and 75kg respectively.
Free style wrestling added the other three gold medals by Ha Van Hieu in men’s under-120kg, Can Tat Du in men’s under-84kg and Bui Tuan Anh in men’s under-74kg.
Fencing, rowing and swimming bagged home another three golds to make it reach a total of 68 gold medals by the end of Thursday.
Meanwhile, Vietnam’s badminton star Nguyen Tien Minh produced a disappointed performance when he was beaten 2-0 in the quarterfinals by Liang Derek Wong of Singapore. Minh ranking seventh in the world had won the Singaporean player, number 42nd in the world, 2-0 at Thomas&Uber Cup 2010.
