Impressive competition results are not only the result of individual efforts, but also demonstrate the effectiveness of systematic and strategic investment by the Vietnamese sports industry. These achievements are an important stepping stone for Vietnamese canoeing ahead of major tournaments such as the 33rd SEA Games, scheduled to be held in Thailand in late 2025.

Notably, canoeing continues to be one of the key sports that Thailand has included in the official competition program at this SEA Games, bringing a golden opportunity for Vietnamese sports to affirm their position.

Vietnamese rowers have shown their bravery when facing strong opponents in the region such as Thailand, Indonesia...

Competing in three major tournaments in the same week while still maintaining top form shows careful preparation in terms of expertise, physical strength and competitive spirit.

Besides, young athletes such as Diep Thi Huong, Nguyen Hong Thai, Ma Thi Thuy, Phung Ngoc Diem, Mac Thi Thanh Thuy, Ma Thi Dieu Ngoc, Tran Thi Quynh competed excellently.

In particular, in the women's four-sculls event, the team made history by winning the silver medal for the first time at the Asian U.23 Championship. The four young girls who won this historic silver medal were Hoang Thi Huong, Bui Mai Hanh, Hoang Thi Lam, and Nguyen Thi Mai.
