((KPL) Vatthanaxay Khamphavong from Champassak province and Chansamone Vongsavath from Saravane have won the first two gold medals for Lao athletics delegation at the ongoing SEA Games in Nakhon Ratsasyma, Thailand.
Laos’ petanque athletics also won two bronze medals from male and female sigle’s competition on last Friday from Phonpaseuth Soukhaphon, a former gold medallist from SEA Games in the Philippines, and a fresh athlete Mimee Vongsavath. It is very surprising to Laos as Vatthanaxay has just made his first appearance in an international event, while his rival Thaloengkiat, the latest world and Asian petanque champion.
Chansamone’s road to victory drew a lot of concerns from Lao fans knowing that she had had to compete with the host country’s Thongsri Thamakord, who has just won world petanque championship.
For Chansamone, 15, who was competing in the international for the first time, winning is not only gold but glory for her hometown Champassak.
Lao petanque players aiming to win three gold medals from this year’s SEA Games seem happy as they won two gold medals on their first day of competition in the sporting event. On Saturday, Laos also won a bronze medal in the men’s freestyle 74kg shot-throwing from Khonkeo Thathavong.
Laos also earned six bronze medals from Mouay Lao fighter Bounma Vongchampa, two wushu players Phosay Aphaimath and Toyla, two wrestlers Khonkeo That-thavong and Vilakone Vongphachanh, and rattan ball teams. While bravery Lao women’s football team made their access to the SEA Games football semi-final for the first time of Laos’ football history. This was even more surprising after their earlier loss 1-4 to the three-time SEA Games titleholder, Vietnam.
Unfortunately Lao men’s football team was not so successful and failed to pass their first qualified round losing their last match 1-2 to neighbour Vietnam on Saturday. This year’s SEA Games has disappointed Lao players by allowing them back home with only one score from three matches in the first round.
