What was special about their performance was that the two female fighters brought to the ring "props" such as conical hats and crow-beak scarves, which are very familiar to Vietnamese culture. The unique performance attracted a large audience.

Speaking after winning the bronze medal, the two female athletes shared: "During the competition, everyone was eager to get the highest medal. Although we were quite satisfied with our performance, we were also quite regretful that we did not get a higher title."

"Regarding bringing the non quai thao and khan bec crow to their competition, this is the idea of the two sisters who want to bring Vietnamese identity to the international arena, so that everyone knows about Vietnamese culture, instead of knowing about the normal hat, the non quai thao is something else special."
