World boxing runner-up receives another shock after defeat at SEA Games 32

According to the test results at a Cambodian hospital, boxer Nguyen Thi Tam completely tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left leg.

Nguyen Thi Tam has a torn ligament.

This is a serious injury and requires a long treatment period. Many people even have to quit professional competition after suffering this type of injury. For now, Nguyen Thi Tam will have to wear a leg brace and walk with crutches.

On the afternoon of May 6, Nguyen Thi Tam entered the match with a Thai athlete in the 54kg weight class.

Despite facing a tough opponent, Tam still played quite calmly and won 4-1 in the first round. In the second round, the 2023 World Boxing Cup runner-up still played well, leading the opponent 3-2.

However, in a counterattack, the Thai boxer thrust his knee into Tam's knee. The situation was not too dangerous, but Tam was in so much pain that he could not move.

The referee immediately had to intervene and end the match. A doctor in the Vietnamese sports delegation said that Tam's injury was not simple.

However, at this time it is still not possible to decide whether to perform surgery or not. Doctors will try to help Tam return in time to compete at ASIAD 19 in September 2023.

Before attending the 32nd SEA Games, Nguyen Thi Tam impressed with the runner-up position at the 2023 World Boxing Cup.

In addition, she also won gold medals twice in a row at the 30th and 31st SEA Games.
