Vietnam almost certainly won the first place in the 32nd SEA Games delegation. |
In terms of achievements, this is a very successful SEA Games of TTVN, especially those in the Olympic competition system such as athletics, swimming, gymnastics, table tennis, etc. There are also sports that don’t win gold, but those who don’t win gold. What can be valued is more precious than gold. Specifically, the silver medal for women’s volleyball, which is considered an exclusive sport of Thailand because they have reached the world class for a long time, but it is the Vietnamese girls who have made Thai people nervous and out of breath in set 3. pulled each other to the score 30/30 and only lost 30/32.
SEA Games 32, TTVN has made certain marks. If the gold medals of Nguyen Thi Oanh, Nguyen Thi Huyen … on the track have affirmed the value of female athletes who always stand firmly in the Southeast Asian arena, the records of “Frog Prince” Pham Thanh Bao or gold medals. Brand new and also the record holder at the first SEA Games of Tran Minh Tri has confirmed the rise of the successor force.
It can be said that 2023 is a very successful year for TTVN when only one year after winning the team at a SEA Games hosted by Vietnam, Vietnamese athletes have defended at a SEA Games competition in a foreign land that is often owned by Vietnam. about Thailand, Indonesia…
It is a memorable mark in the region to continue thinking beyond the Asian playground such as Asiad or in the world competition, the Olympic.
Back to the last two Asian and world tournaments, Asiad Jakarta – Palembang 2018 and Tokyo 2000 Olympics, TTVN’s achievements are still very modest. At the Asiad, in addition to the host Indonesia with an outstanding number of gold medals up to 31, TTVN ranked 17th in the Asia region, but at the Southeast Asian level, it was below Thailand (11 gold medals) and Malaysia (7 gold medals). As for the Tokyo Olympic playground, it is behind the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia because it did not harvest any medals.
Hopefully, from the best impression of the whole team at the 32nd SEA Games, which TTVN dominates, it will be a stepping stone for Vietnamese athletes to get the highest titles when swimming in the big sea at the Asiad and Olympic Games…
