Maria del Carmen de La Fuente from La Paz Mexico could have brought another medal but she came up on 5th, which is good considering she was ranked among the best 8 in international championships.

Thanks to Carmen for her effort and courage, the Vietnam participant Nguyen Thuy Ngan seemed pretty tough..
