JAKARTA - Had moved up to second place, the position of the Indonesian contingent was increasingly eroded. Until the close of Monday, May 8, the Red and White team had to be willing to go down to fourth in the standings for the 2023 SEA Games medals.

Indonesia's position was shifted by Vietnam and Thailand. Both countries occupy second and third positions.

Indonesia had time to stick to the host Cambodia, after adding four gold medals. The Red and White team also added two more gold until Monday night, but it seems that it is not enough to maintain a position in the standings for medals.

The athletic sport again contributed a gold medal through Abdul Hafiz in the men's lembing throwing number. The men's volleyball national team also successfully defended the title to bring home the gold with a win over the host Cambodia in the final round.

Meanwhile, Indonesia managed to collect a total of 22 gold, Vietnam, which was in fifth position on Monday afternoon, jumped to second place with 29 gold.

Thailand on the third day of the 2023 SEA Games, Monday, also increased the amount of gold from Indonesia, with a total acquisition of 27 gold to occupy third place.

Meanwhile, the Philippines dropped to fifth with 18 gold. The top position is still occupied by the host Cambodia with a total acquisition of 100 medals, namely 37 gold, 31 silver, and 31 bronze.
