Thi Thanh gets off to a slow start but shows great determination in her comeback to win the second-place finish. |
I hope the rest of the Vietnamese team will be encouraged by what Thi Thanh has shown today, says her coach. |
She is one of the smallest marathoners but earns a medal with plenty of time to spare. |
Vietnam now sits at four medals, with three silver and one bronze. |
The marathon is the only event Vietnamese athletes compete in on Saturday, August 19, at the 2017 SEA Games. |
