Despite having to travel many hours from Vietnam to Bishkek and facing many talented young wrestlers from the continent's top wrestling-achieving countries, our athletes have made great efforts to compete and achieved encouraging results.

Notably, two athletes Nguyen Thi My Trang in the 55 kg category and Tran Anh Tuyet in the 59 kg category won bronze medals.

According to General Secretary of the Vietnam Wrestling Federation Ta Dinh Duc, two athletes Nguyen Thi My Trang and Tran Anh Tuyet are highly appreciated for their professional abilities and have great potential for investment and development to prepare well for the 19th ASIAD in China held in October this year and the 2024 Olympic qualifiers.
