Where Vietnam Fits in the Tour

According to the Philstar report on the tour, Anna Leigh Waters kicks off the showcase in the Philippines in October, then heads to Malaysia, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Pickle361 has covered the Kuala Lumpur leg separately.

The Vietnam post does not name Waters. The athletes it does name are the four above, and the poster shows a paddle marked with a question mark. The caption does not say what it is.
