On day three, Vietnamese athletes won three titles in track-and-field, swimming and powerlifting events.

The nation's swimmers set seven new Games records, two of which were also Paralympic records.

Do Thanh Hai won the men's SB4 100m breaststroke event with a time of 1min 45.36sec, stepping on the top podium for the fourth time.
