Wiping away their tears, My Tien and her teammates wrote history.

On the evening of December 14th, Vo Thi My Tien and her teammates won the bronze medal in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, the first medal in this event in the history of Vietnamese swimming at the SEA Games.

Wiping away tears, My Tien and her teammates wrote a miracle for Vietnamese swimming. Finishing with a time of 8 minutes 14 seconds 22, Nguyen Kha Nhi, Vo Thi My Tien, Pham Thi Van, and Nguyen Thuy Hien won a historic bronze medal at the SEA Games in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay on the evening of December 14th. This is the first time the Vietnamese swimming team has won a medal in this event.

On the evening of December 14th, My Tien returned to the swimming pool after the controversy of the previous day. She and her teammates competed in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay. Earlier, on the evening of December 13th, she broke down in tears after speaking with Mr. Dinh Viet Hung, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Aquatic Sports Association, right on the podium after receiving her silver medal in the women's 400m individual medley.

Putting aside the controversy, My Tien returned to the swimming pool. She was the second swimmer in the relay team, after Nguyen Kha Nhi.

After finishing her swim, My Tien returned to the starting area to wait for her teammates.

Pham Thi Van and Nguyen Thuy Hien (pictured) then completed their part of the competition. The women's 4x200m freestyle relay team won the bronze medal with a time of 8 minutes 14 seconds 22. Thailand and the Philippines won the gold and silver medals, respectively.

After finishing her part of the race, My Tien crossed the finish line, waiting and cheering for her teammates.

She happily shared the moment with the foreign athletes, maintaining her familiar smile.

This is the first time in the history of Vietnamese swimming that we have won a medal in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay. This is an encouraging achievement for Vietnamese women's swimming, which is rebuilding in the post-Anh Vien era.

My Tien seemed a little shy during the photo session with her medal. She was probably still nervous after yesterday's incident.

After Anh Vien's retirement, My Tien became the most successful female swimmer in Vietnam. Including the silver medal on December 13th, My Tien has won a total of 4 silver medals since the 2022 SEA Games in Hanoi . The silver medal is the highest achievement for Vietnamese women's swimming in the post-Anh Vien era.
