The 27th Southeast Asian Games wrapped up Sunday with Thailand topping the medals table with 107 golds, ahead of host Burma with 86. Thailand also earned 94 silver medals and 81 bronze, while Burma’s silver tally was 62 with 85 bronze medals. Vietnam’s 73 golds were good for third place. Highlights for Thailand included golds in football, futsal and both men’s and women’s volleyball. Host Burma had set an ambitious target of 100 gold medals, but its 86 represented a huge improvement over its last outing in the biennial games when it won just 16.—AP
