The Vietnamese delegation at the 20th Asian Games focuses its preparation on archery, shooting, and canoeing as training intensifies ahead of the multi-sport competition. Led by targeted investments and structured technical training programs across several disciplines, athletes continue their preparations at various regional and international training camps to refine performance levels.
Shooting Squad Intensifies Technical Preparation in Europe
The national shooting squad has anchored its long-term strategy in high-level international competition, spanning events from the Asian Rifle and Pistol Championship in New Delhi to the ISSF World Cup in Munich. According to coverage from Le Courrier du Vietnam, specialists in the rapid-fire pistol event—including Hà Minh Thành, Vu Tiên Nam, and Trân Công Hiêu—undertook a 25-day training camp in France to sharpen technical execution. Training abroad with comprehensive access to official equipment and regular sparring against global elites serves as a primary pillar for the team’s medal ambitions.
Archery and Canoeing Schedules Take Center Stage
Technical disciplines occupy prominent slots in the daily competition schedule, featuring athletes across multiple bow categories and water events. At the Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park archery venue, competitors contest recurve and compound events across individual and team classes, featuring athletes such as Nguyen Hoang Phi Vu, Le Thuy Phuong Nhi, and Nguyen Van Day. Meanwhile, at the Miyoshi Lake canoe course, teams test their speed in events including the men’s K1 500m semifinal with Vu Le Thien Hai, the women’s K1 500m A-final featuring Hoang Thi Huong, and the mixed C2 500m A-final pairing Hien Nam and Nguyen Hong Thai.
Volleyball Squad Balances Continental Ambitions
The women’s volleyball team approaches the continental tournament holding the 28th global ranking and the 4th position in Asia, following a run to the semifinals at the previous edition. Reports from Le Courrier du Vietnam highlight that after securing a third-place finish at the AVC Nations Cup—marked by a straight-sets defeat to the Republic of Korea—the squad faces a rigorous preparatory calendar including the SEA V-League, the VTV Cup, and the AVC Asian Championship.
