Vietnam has achieved its target of finishing third at the 2017 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, which concluded in Malaysia on Wednesday, with female athletes outplaying their male teammates.

Team Vietnam bagged a total of 58 gold medals in the event, two thirds of which were won by women.

The Vietnamese female athletes have shined in multiple sports, from the important Olympic sports such as swimming and track-and-field, to martial arts including wushu, taekwondo, karate-do and pencak silat.

Some of the greatest Vietnamese heroines in the region’s biggest sporting competition were swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien, sprinter Le Tu Chinh, and the women’s football team, who clinched their fifth SEA Games title in Malaysia.

Below are some photos of the Vietnamese ‘wonder women’ taken by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
