Previously, on the first day of competition (May 27), Trung Hoa and My Trang won the Silver Medal in Latin D Category and the Bronze Medal in Latin C Category – Middle Age 2.

This impressive achievement is even more meaningful when on May 3, the couple also entered the Top 30 best Latin dance couples in the world in the middle-aged group - a testament to the efforts and constantly improving professional level of Vietnamese dancesport athletes in the international arena.

Sharing from Taipei (Taiwan, China), athlete Nguyen My Trang emotionally said: “We are extremely surprised and proud of this achievement. This is the first time we have stood on the highest podium of glory at a global arena. I am very moved and want to share this joy and pride with everyone, especially those who are middle-aged and elderly. For me, participating in the Middle Age Games is a valuable opportunity to explore my limits and overcome them. Not only stopping at medals, we want to spread the spirit of “ sports for life” – as the slogan of the World Masters Games: Sports Beyond Age, Life Without Limits, to encourage people to maintain physical activity at all ages.”
