Quoc Phong ranked fourth in the men's individual bow event.

Competing in the men's 1-string bow event, archer Le Quoc Phong had the best result in the men's individual event when he reached the semi-finals.

Competing in the semi-finals, Quoc Phong faced the host Korean athlete - Lee Wooseok. Although he tried his best, Quoc Phong lost with a score of 3 - 7, thus losing the chance to enter the championship final.

Immediately after that, Quoc Phong met Abdullah Yildirmis (Türkiye) to compete for the bronze medal but he continued to lose regretfully with a score of 4 - 6. In the end, Quoc Phong ranked fourth in the men's individual single-string bow event. In the men's single-string bow event, archer Lee Wooseok won the championship.

Previously, archers Do Thi Anh Nguyet and Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhi did not achieve the desired results in the women's individual 1-string bow event.

Competing in this event, archer Trieu Huyen Diep had the best result in this event when she ranked 08th due to losing in the quarterfinals. Archer Loc Thi Dao ranked 17th. Do Thi Anh Nguyet ranked 70th and Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhi ranked 87th. For men, archer Nguyen Duy ranked 80th, Nguyen Minh Duc ranked 91st and Hoang Van Loc ranked 103rd.

In the men's and women's team event, the athlete pair Le Quoc Phong/Trieu Huyen Diep lost to the Japanese team with a score of 1-5, so they ranked 8th overall.

Thus, up to this point, Vietnamese Archery still has no place to participate in the 2024 Olympics.

After this round, Vietnamese archers will continue to compete in the Final Round in June in Türkiye. Previously, Vietnamese Archery also participated in the Olympic qualifying round to win a place in the 2024 Paris (France) Olympics in Asia such as the 2023 Asian Championship (November 2023) in Thailand, the 19th Asian Games but was unsuccessful.

At the 2024 Paris (France) Olympics, 128 archers will participate (64 men, 64 women). The World Archery Federation will reserve Olympic spots for men's and women's individuals, men's teams, women's teams and mixed teams. Archery teams around the world (including Vietnam) can wait from the Archer Rankings or compete directly for Olympic tickets in the qualifying round.

Four years ago, Vietnamese Archery had two official spots at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (Japan) for archers Anh Nguyet and Phi Vu.
