VietNamNet Bridge – Judo queen Van Ngoc Tu will attempt her fifth SEA Games crown tomorrow in Indonesian.

The 24-year-old will compete in the women's 48kg category and, in the case of her winning this year's title, will have a record breaking day.

Tu first triumphed at the 23th SEA Games in the Philippines, her international debut, and has dominated the regional tournament ever since.

The Soc Trang Province-born athlete is also the only in the Southeast Asia to grab a [bronze] medal from the Asian championships.

The fifth SEA Games gold medal will make her the richest judokas. She will rank among other national icons such as wrestler Man Ba Xuan, taekwondo artist Nguyen Van Hung and pencak silat fighter Trinh Thi Mui.

In this SEA Games, Tu will have a chance to earn more of the points she needs for a ticket for the London Olympics next summer.
