Hoang Nguyen Thanh only finished 3rd in the marathon, behind an athlete from Indonesia and the Philippines. The initial result was determined to be about 2 hours 36 minutes 11 seconds, failing to defend the SEA Games 31 gold medal. Nguyen Thanh's bronze medal was the first medal of the Vietnamese sports delegation this morning, May 6.
The earliest runners of the day, Hoang Nguyen Thanh and Trinh Quoc Luong, could bring home the first "official" gold medal for the Vietnamese sports delegation in the men's marathon. Hoang Nguyen Thanh was the champion of this arduous race at the 31st SEA Games on home soil. The two "unknowns" in the women's marathon, Nguyen Thi Ninh and Le Thi Tuyet, are also expected to make history after the duo shined at the 2022 National Sports Festival.
Hoang Nguyen Thanh will have to face very strong runners.
Also in Siem Reap, on the afternoon of May 6, the two 20km walking champions Vo Xuan Vinh and Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuc promised to do their best to defend the gold medals they won last summer. They have the support of Nguyen Thanh Ngung and Nguyen Thi Van on the track, and there could also be some pleasant "internal competition" from here as these two runners are full of explosive potential.
