Just like in the 1,500m freestyle event two days ago, Nguyen Huy Hoang showed good form, defeating his opponents to finish first, winning the gold medal with a time of 7 minutes 57 seconds 58.

This Asian Swimming Championship did not have the participation of some strong athletes in the 1,500 m and 800 m distances, opening up opportunities for Nguyen Huy Hoang and he took full advantage to not only win 1 but 2 gold medals, which is also a historic achievement for this swimmer. Unfortunately, the 800 m freestyle event will not be held in the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand in December. However, fans expect the "Gianh River otter" to maintain his form to achieve high results for the Vietnamese swimming team in the 33rd SEA Games, where he is expected to win gold medals in the 1,500 m freestyle, 400 m freestyle and 10 km long-distance swimming events.
