There is no final conclusion yet on the outstanding incident in the national gymnastics team.

The participants, in addition to the leaders of the Department of Sports and Physical Training, the Department of High Performance Sports , the Hanoi National Sports Training Center, the entire coaching staff of the Vietnam Gymnastics team, also included the legal, inspection, and financial departments of the industry. The Department of Sports and Physical Training reported all the incidents reported by the press in the past few days, including the case of the coach of the Gymnastics Department of the Hanoi National Sports Training and Competition Center (also a member of the team) who admitted to asking athlete Pham Nhu Phuong to withdraw the medal bonus money to put into the fund; and the case of the coaching staff of the Vietnam Gymnastics team checking the attendance of athletes on days off even though the athletes did not practice.

In the first case, coach NTD was suspended from training with the national team and is awaiting further action from the governing body. The Department of Sports and Physical Training will have a meeting with the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports about the incident related to this coach.

In the second case, the sports industry leaders have not yet made an official conclusion because they are waiting for the coaching board to explain in more detail in writing. The request was made that the coaching board must clearly report which athletes were clocked, from what time, and from whom they collected money. Responding to Thanh Nien on the morning of January 17, athlete Pham Nhu Phuong's family said that Nhu Phuong was allowed to keep 270,000 VND for each Saturday and Sunday training session. The remaining 270,000 VND was paid to the coaching board. In reality, each athlete who trains on the weekend gets 540,000 VND. The problem is that the athletes did not practice but were still clocked. Thus, there are signs that the coaching board has made false declarations.

Although in the meeting that morning with the leaders of the Department of Sports and Physical Training, the coaching board also admitted that there was a timekeeping issue on the athletes' days off. However, in the 3-hour meeting in the afternoon, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has not yet given a final solution.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requires relevant parties, most importantly the coaching board, to report fully, clearly and honestly. The sports sector will synthesize and analyze the situation and soon make an official announcement to the public, in accordance with the direction of the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism. If there are any individuals who commit violations, the sports sector will handle them promptly, to the extent of the violation, without avoidance, without flattery or coping.
