Competing in the women's classical bodybuilding category over 1.65m tall, 49-year-old athlete Le Thi Huong Giang stepped onto the highest podium for the first time, becoming the oldest Vietnamese athlete to win the world championship in an individual event.

Her achievement was even more brilliant when just a few dozen minutes later, Huong Giang competed in the Ladies Athletic Physique event and brought home another silver medal.
