In the women's heavyweight 4-row rowing event of the 19th Asiad , the 4 girls Thu Hien, Luong Thi Thao, Nguyen Thi Giang and Pham Thi Thao aim to win medals in the finals taking place this morning.

In the qualifying round, the Vietnamese team's result was 7 minutes 2.11 seconds, finishing 3rd but still quite far behind the two leading teams China (6 minutes 43.94 seconds) and Iran (6 minutes 55.02 seconds). Therefore, maintaining the 3rd position, meaning another bronze medal, is a reasonable goal for the team in the final race.

In addition to the 4 women's heavyweight 2-oar event, Vietnamese rowers also participated in the finals of 2 other events: women's single heavyweight 2-oar event and 4 men's heavyweight 2-oar event. However, the chance for Vietnam to compete in these 2 events is quite low.

Meanwhile, shooting will take place in four final events today, including the men's 10m mobile target (individual and team) and the men's 25m rapid fire pistol (individual and team).

Vietnam's medal hopes are pinned on the men's 25m rapid fire pistol event with top shooter Ha Minh Thanh . However, this is an extremely difficult task because he has to face very strong Chinese, Korean and Indian shooters. Similarly, the men's 10m mobile target event is always the forte of Chinese, Korean and Kazakh shooters. Vietnam is not completely hopeless, but can only dream of competing for a bronze medal.

Judo has 3 events to compete in the final today, but the chances for Vietnam are not much. On the contrary, taekwondo brings a lot of hope after opening the competition with a bronze medal on the first day. Besides the mixed team event, martial artist Truong Thi Kim Tuyen is expected to win a medal in the women's 49kg sparring event. However, with the appearance of Thai world and Olympic champion Wongpattanakit Panipak , the chance for Tuyen to win gold is extremely difficult.

Swimming, fencing and wushu are also sports with the participation of Vietnamese athletes, with the finals of some events taking place on today's competition day.
