Pencak silat has delivered three of Team Vietnam’s final gold medals at the 2017 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Malaysia, with three martial artists claiming victory on Tuesday, one day before the biennial event wraps up.

Nguyen Van Tri won the men’s 90kg with an impressive defeat of his Singaporean rival in the final competition. His teammate Nguyen Duy Tuyen earlier topped the men’s 80kg event, while Pham Thi Tuoi snatched gold in the women’s 50kg event.

Vietnam also claimed silver medals in the men’s 50-55kg, 55-60kg and 75kg categories, as well as the women’s 50-55kg events
