Viet Nam's Karate team won three silvers and two bronzes at the ninth Asian Karate Championship at Foshan City in Guangdong province in China.

The country ranked fourth in the overall standings behind Japan, where the sport originated, and Iran and China.

Silver medals came from the men's kumite event, women's kata event and the team's kata event, while Viet Nam's bronze medals were won by Bui Thi Trieu in the women's 61kg event and Vu Thi Nguyet Anh in the women's 50kg.

In the men's under-55kg kumite event, Pham Hoai Long lost to an Iranian athlete in the final and had to settle for the silver.

In the kata event, world defending champion Nguyen Hoang Ngan won the silver after being beaten 1-4 by Japanese athlete Rika Usami.

Meanwhile the women's kata team lost 0-5 to the Japanese in the final.

Viet Nam won three silvers and five bronzes in the last tournament.

The six-day tournament, which wrapped up on Sunday, attracted 464 athletes from 28 countries and territories. Viet Nam had four referees adjudicating at this year's tournament.

"... From the beginning of the first century A.D., when the two Trung Sisters rose up to fight the enemy and save the nation, until now, whenever our country has faced danger, our women have contributed whatever they could toward the cause of national liberation.

Our people are grateful that our mothers from South and North alike have borne and raised our nation's generation of heroes....

Under the Socialist system, tens of thousands of women have become specialists in different fields and, as cadre, serve as directors and vice-directors of factories, leaders of farming cooperatives, presidents of People’s Committees, and general secretaries of Party Cells....

And so, the women of Vietnam from ancient times until now, from South to North, from young to old, are truly heroes ..."

(Excerpted from President Ho Chi Minh's speech on the 36th Anniversary of Vietnam Women's Union 20 October 1966)
