"The decisive moment for today's victory was when I overcame the obstacle" - Phu Duc shared right after receiving the prestigious laurel wreath of Road to Olympia 2024.
The match was dramatic and intense until the last minutes, when the score gap between the two leading contestants was only 20 points.
In Nhat Minh's last question and also the last question of the final match, Nhat Minh did not give an answer. Phu Duc pressed the bell to answer but it was not the correct answer.
Phu Duc was deducted 15 points, dropping to 220 points. But this score was enough for Phu Duc to become the new champion of the 24th year of Road to Olympia.
"The moment I felt the most pressure was when Nguyen Phu was 20 points ahead of me. This reminded me of the moments in the third quarter. At that time, I had prepared my strategy" - Phu Duc said.
The male student believes that the secret to winning the prestigious laurel wreath is courage and smart tactics. At the same time, he always tries to keep a stable and calm mentality throughout the match.
Talking about her son, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Chau - Vo Quang Phu Duc's mother proudly said: "My mother is a teacher, my father is a doctor. I am a forestry engineer, my husband is a mechanical engineer. The family tradition is that even in difficult times, we still try to raise our children and invest in their education."
Previously, in the third quarter competition of the 24th year of the Road to Olympia program, surpassing 3 other contestants, Dang Duy Khanh (Lao Cai High School for the Gifted, Lao Cai province), Nguyen Tuan Minh (Chu Van An High School, Hanoi), Phan Duy Hung (Son Tay High School, Hanoi), Vo Quang Phu Duc won 185 points, excellently participating in the final round of the year.
Phu Duc shared that participating in Road to Olympia has been his dream since he was a child. Reaching the finals is his happiness, so he tries harder, makes an effort, and competes with all his might in a relaxed spirit, without putting pressure on himself.
With his achievement, Phu Duc became the 7th student from Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted to participate in the Road to Olympia competition, bringing the number of champions from this school to 3.
