Sharing his thoughts after his defeat in the 1500m freestyle final, finishing only 4th with a worse performance than his previous best, Vietnam's number one swimmer Nguyen Huy Hoang said that the pressure of being the reigning runner-up and the high expectations of many people led him to perform poorly. Yesterday, Vietnamese sports also witnessed an unsatisfactory performance from female shooter Trinh Thu Vinh, who had secured a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She shed tears of disappointment and regret after her disappointing performance in the 25m pistol event, failing to reach the final. Analyzing Thu Vinh's failure, coach Tran Quoc Cuong said: "Perhaps Thu Vinh was under pressure and stress, leading to her unsuccessful performance." 2016 Brazilian Olympic shooting champion Hoang Xuan Vinh (now the coach of the Vietnamese shooting team) acknowledged that Vietnamese shooting needs better investment so that promising athletes like Trinh Thu Vinh can succeed in the future.
Trinh Thu Vinh was disappointed with her own performance.
In yesterday's competition, Vietnamese sports won four more bronze medals: Duong Thuy Vi, Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, and Hua Van Doan (wushu), and Bac Thi Khiem (taekwondo). Notably, in the quarterfinals, Bac Thi Khiem defeated the reigning ASIAD silver medalist Kim Jandi (South Korea). In addition, several other sports also performed well, such as the esports team advancing to the semifinals of the League of Legends event after a 2-0 victory over India; Dinh Anh Hoang progressing through the first round of the men's singles, and Nguyen Thi Nga advancing through the first round of the women's singles in table tennis.
Today, the Vietnamese sports delegation enters its fifth day of competition at the 19th Asian Games. In swimming, swimmer Nguyen Huy Hoang is expected to perform well in the 800m freestyle, as he is the reigning bronze medalist. In gymnastics, Vietnamese athletes will compete in the individual finals with Trinh Hai Khang (floor exercise), Nguyen Van Khanh Phong (rings), and Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien (pommel horse). Khanh Phong is in good form and is expected to achieve a high result. In shooting, Pham Quang Huy, Phan Cong Minh, and Lai Cong Minh will compete in the 10m air pistol individual and team events; Le Thao Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, and Duong Thi Trang will compete in the 10m moving target event. In esports, the Vietnamese team will face Taiwan in the semi-finals of the League of Legends event.
