The Vietnamese track and field team finished the 32nd SEA Games in second place overall, behind Thailand. The team's brightest star at this year's event was Nguyen Thi Oanh. The runner born in 1995 became the first track and field athlete in history to win 4 gold medals at a single SEA Games, bringing her total to 12 gold medals in the Southeast Asian Games.
However, the Deputy Head of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, Mr. Hoang Quoc Vinh, affirmed that this was still not Nguyen Thi Oanh's best achievement. Because she had to compete in many events in a row, the athletics team's coaching staff had to calculate so that Oanh could distribute her strength to complete the gold medal target in these events, instead of focusing on 1 or 2 events to improve her performance or break the record.

"Athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh has her own strategy. The coaching staff discussed in detail that some events at this SEA Games are arranged consecutively, so she cannot use all her strength to break the record of one event, but not complete the target of another event.
Besides, Nguyen Thi Oanh won the bronze medal at ASIAD, the athletics team's coaching staff also focused on raising this target in the Asian playground. We will have a separate plan for Nguyen Thi Oanh to have the best physical condition and drop point at ASIAD held in Hangzhou (in September this year). The achievement will be equal or better, that is the main goal. And at SEA Games 32, Nguyen Thi Oanh competed very excellently," Mr. Vinh shared.
Mr. Hoang Quoc Vinh also affirmed that athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh is currently receiving attention from sponsors. This will be the motivation for the runner born in 1995 to continue improving her performance in the coming time.
"I thank the media for spreading the image and information of Nguyen Thi Oanh. Not only do athletes and fans in Cambodia admire Oanh, but the French press is also amazed by Oanh's extraordinary achievements. Thanks to that, Oanh is supported by society and the community. Currently, Oanh is supported by many sponsors both materially and spiritually," Mr. Vinh affirmed.
