ASIAD 19 October 2: Track and field and weightlifting stars

18:32: Nguyen Thi Oanh missed the 3,000m obstacle course medal

A day after failing in the women's 1,500m race, Nguyen Thi Oanh competed in the final of the 3,000m steeplechase , an event in which she won a bronze medal five years ago. Facing strong opponents, Oanh only finished after 9 minutes 57 seconds 13, ranking 6th out of 7 overall.

15:24: Hoang Thi Duyen says goodbye to ASIAD 19

Perhaps the weight loss during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is still haunting Hoang Thi Duyen as the female athlete from Lao Cai gradually lost herself. She could not defend her gold medal at the 32nd SEA Games and at the 19th ASIAD, Duyen failed to snatch all three times to lift 93kg, and had to say goodbye to the Games early.

Competing in the same category as Hoang Thi Duyen, Quang Thi Tam - the 2022 Asian runner-up - suddenly became small in front of extremely strong opponents. She only achieved 92kg in snatch, 111kg in clean and jerk and 203kg in total, ranking 7/7. Winning the gold medal in the women's 59kg category was Kim Il-gyong (DPRK), an athlete who broke a total of... 11 records from Asian youth, world youth, congress record, Asian record and world record with 111kg in snatch, 135kg in clean and jerk and 246kg in total!

14:45: Host China takes the top spot

Up to this point, the Chinese sports delegation has won 141 gold medals, 74 silver medals and 39 bronze medals. The number of gold medals won by Chinese athletes after more than a week of competition at the 19th Asian Games has surpassed the total number of gold medals at the 18th Asian Games.

14:10: Kurash brings home another bronze medal for Vietnam

Vo Thi Phuong Quynh lost 0-3 to her Iranian opponent in the women's 87kg semi-final, receiving a bronze medal. This is the 13th bronze medal of the Vietnamese sports delegation at the 19th ASIAD.

10:45: Archery for quarter-final ticket

In the women's team archery event, the Vietnamese team with Do Thi Anh Nguyet, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhi and Hoang Phuong Thao excellently defeated the archers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with a score of 6-2 to enter the quarterfinals.

In the mixed doubles 3-string bow event, the duo Nguyen Thi Hai Chau/Duong Duy Bao also competed well to defeat the athletes from Bangladesh with a thrilling score of 154-153, thereby winning a ticket to the quarterfinals.

In the mixed doubles bow event, the pair Do Thi Anh Nguyet/Nguyen Duy defeated their Uzbekistan opponents 6-2 and advanced to the quarter-finals.

In the round of 16 of the men's team archery event, Nguyen Van Day, Duong Duy Bao and Tran Trung Hieu lost 231-233 to the Kazakh archers, missing the ticket to the quarterfinals.

10am: Canoe missed out on medals

Nguyen Hong Thai/Nguyen Thi Huong finished 3rd in the women's 500m canoeing double boat final with a time of 2 minutes 08 seconds 695. In the women's 500m kayak double boat final, Do Thi Thanh Thao/Hoang Thi Huong ranked 6th with a time of 2 minutes 00 seconds 150.

Competing in the second qualifying round with Asian record holder Kemi Adekoya (Bahrain), Nguyen Thi Huyen only finished fourth with a time of 58 seconds 49.

ASIAD 19 medal table (as of October 1):

Female athlete Hoang Thi Duyen

In weightlifting, Hoang Thi Duyen and Quang Thi Tam both compete in the women's 59kg category. These are also two outstanding faces of Vietnamese weightlifting today. However, after the first two days of competition, Chinese and North Korean weightlifters have demonstrated their superior strength, so it will be very difficult for athletes from other countries in the medal competition.
