    BEIJING, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese brought home two golds in women's Sanshou at the 9th World Wushu Championships here on Saturday.

    Nguyen Thi Bich beat Jennifer P. Lagilag of the Philippines 2-0 to win the women's 48kg category.

    "It is not hard for me," she said. "I controlled the rhythm, and I caught my chance."

    "I'm much taller and stronger than my opponent. And I fully used my advantages."

    "I'm much shorter than her," said the silver medallist. "It's difficult for me to use my wrestling techniques."

    "Besides, she is much more powerful. My height is the main reason."

    The bronze went to Naw Mar Htun of Myanmar.

    In women's 60kg category, Luong Thi Hoa of Vietnam beat Zahra Karimi Vardanjani from Iran 2-0 to win the second gold in Sanshou for her country.

    Russian Kristina Naumova took the bronze.
