Thai netizens are going crazy over the Vietnamese female athlete.

TPO - Following her impressive SEA Games debut on December 11th, track and field athlete Nguyen Khanh Linh has caused a sensation on social media in host country Thailand due to her beautiful appearance and adorable expressions.

As is known, on the track on the afternoon of December 11th, Nguyen Khanh Linh led for most of the time before her senior teammate Bui Thi Ngan surged ahead to cross the finish line first in the women's 1,500m athletics final. While delighted with her silver medal in her first SEA Games appearance, Khanh Linh also felt a little regretful that she couldn't break her personal best.

Immediately afterwards, the 19-year-old girl made adorable expressions, pretending to cry because she couldn't come first, before beaming with her medal in hand. Besides that, her pretty looks and charming smile attracted countless admiring glances. Instantly, Khanh Linh became the center of attention on Thai social media.

Because of the sensation created by Khanh Linh, the Daily News Sports had to create a photo "album" for her on its website, highlighting the radiant face and adorable appearance of the young Vietnamese athletics talent.

This page also emphasizes that Khanh Linh has a special connection with Thailand, as her outstanding achievement is the gold medal in the women's 1,500m race at the 2025 Thailand Open Athletics Championships held in Pathum Thani, with a time of 4:30.74 minutes. At the 33rd SEA Games, she did better with a time of 4:29.76 minutes, but still finished behind Bui Thi Ngan, who won the gold medal with a time of 4:27.34 minutes.

These statistics led Daily News Sports to emphasize, "Besides her beauty, Khanh Linh is also very talented, so keep an eye on her because she will be a star in the future."
