Hanoi, May 8 - Ngo Phuong Mai won the first medal for Vietnam at the ongoing 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games 31) in the country, snatching a bronze in diving on May 8.

After the five dives in Hanoi, Mai scored a total of 224 points after Nur Dhabitah Sabri and Kimberly Bong, both of Malaysia, who scored 290.45 and 230 points, respectively.

SEA Games 31, themed “For a Stronger South East Asia”, will be held in the capital and 11 neighbouring provinces and cities from May 12 to 23. The biennial event was initially slated for late 2021 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Featuring 40 sports with 526 events, it is expected to attract around 10,000 participants./.
