In other events, Hsiung Chen-yu won a bronze medal in the men’s 400m.

In table tennis, Peng Yu-han and Chang Pei-shan won the women’s doubles, Yang Hao-jen and Yang Chia-an claimed silver in the men’s doubles, while Yeh Yi-tian and Yang Hao-jen won bronze in the women’s singles and men’s singles respectively.
