Vietnamese Paralympics: Athletics Gold Medals Continue

The athletes of the Vietnamese Paralympic team fight for victory with great ambition and strive to achieve the best possible results for the delegation.

Late in the afternoon there was more positive news for Vietnamese disabled sports: athlete Nguyen Thi Hai showed an outstanding performance and won the gold medal in the discus throw in the F57 category. The 40-year-old had previously won gold in the javelin throw, demonstrating her impressive form and strong fighting spirit at this year’s games.

Athlete Vo Thanh Tung won the silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle swimming.

Athlete Le Thi Dung won the bronze medal in the 50-meter butterfly.

In archery, athletes Nguyen Thi Hien and Bien Thi Chung shone and reached the final in the 70-meter three-string archery event. Although they led their Thai rivals by four to five points at one point, their nerve in the final shot secured them 141 points – just one point behind the gold medalists. Nevertheless, this is a very encouraging achievement as it is the first time that Vietnamese archers with disabilities have participated in the ASEAN Para Games.

After winning seven gold medals in standard chess, the Vietnamese chess players will tonight compete in rapid chess, which is hoped to bring more medals to the delegation. According to the schedule, the chess award ceremony will take place tomorrow (January 25).
