Viet Nam won six golds, three silvers and one bronze at the Taiwan Open Athletics Championships on Tuesday.

Nguyen Thi Huyen triumphed in the women's 400m event with a time of 60.02 secs.

In addition, Huyen, Vu Thi Men, Nguyen Thi Thuy and Nguyen Thi Oanh took gold medal in the women's 4x400m relay with a time of 3:44.49. They won bronze medals in the same event in the 26th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Indonesia in 2011 with a time of 3:45.03.

Earlier, Pham Thi Diem grabbed a gold medal in the women's high jump after clearing the bar at 1.91m.

The two-day event, which attracted 13 strong teams from around the world, gave the Vietnamese athletes more skills and experience in preparation for the 27th SEA Games in Myanmar in December. — VNS
