After the 2025 National Championship, Xuan Thien continues to actively prepare professionally to be ready to participate in the 2025 World Championship.
Confidence in professional techniques
Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien continues to win the Gold Medal in the round horse singles at the 2025 National Championship. On the catwalk of Quan Ngua Sports Palace, this small player shared a lot when chatting professionally. Each sentence and each word that Xuan Thien expressed showed that the player was truly interested in his expertise and discussed in detail the familiar thorough horse-drawn carriage techniques.
"At the moment, my sport has difficulty and is among the top athletes in the world. However, preparation must always be careful and tight. I do not allow myself to make mistakes because just negligence will not result in success. I was lucky to participate in a number of international tournaments to accumulate expertise and experience. From here, I feel like I need to learn a lot, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien confided.
Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien affirmed that he only focused on promoting the best expertise in one event, which was around the track. He expressed: "This is my forte, I always expect to achieve the highest results when achieving maximum concentration".
In 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City player will win two lifetime achievements including the Gold Medal at the World Challenge Cup in Bulgaria and the Bronze Medal at the Asian Championship. Directly following Xuan Thien's performance in Bulgaria, coach Truong Minh Sang (Vietnam gymnastics Team) once analyzed that the player maintains good technique through which he achieves high results, but above all, Xuan Thien shows a strong mentality in the big arena.
In June 2025 in Korea, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien convinced all judges with a good technical performance in the final of the horse event of the 2025 Asian Championship, winning the Bronze Medal. Recalling the feeling of receiving a medal for the first time at the Asian Championship, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien added: I didnt think I would have a medal at the Asian Championship this year. When entering the competition, the coach and I decided to focus on qualifying for the final round and then considering. After taking this first step, in the final, I showed confidence in each move and finished third. I was really touched at the time.
The World Championship is a big challenge
Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien was officially given the opportunity to participate in the 2025 World Championship in October in Indonesia. At the age of 23, the national team player said this was the biggest challenge he would experience in his career. Xuan Thien has participated in tournaments including the SEA Games, the Asian Championship, the ASIAD, and the World Challenge Cup. However, this is the first time the player has had the opportunity to compete in the 2025 World Championship.
The coaching staff carefully selected the force to participate in the 2025 World Championship. The results of the tournament will bring important values to each athlete. The National Sports Federation issues specific regulations on registration. We create maximum conditions for athletes with good expertise to compete in international tournaments, especially the World Championship. The World Sports Federation will accumulate points for athletes at each prescribed time, helping them compete for Olympic status, said Mr. Bui Trung Thien, head of the Department of Physical Education (Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports).
Xuan Thien affirmed that although it was his first time participating in the 2025 World Championship, he was not under any pressure. Not training in Hanoi, the player is training in Ho Chi Minh City. Regularly, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thuyen practices professionally 2 sessions/day with a volume that ensures smooth technical movement.
When I get close to the tournament, I get to adjust appropriately to stay in the best health. The goal I set is to complete the best in the qualifying round. I hope I will achieve a safe score and have a place in the finals. The world championship competition is always a challenge for all athletes, including me, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien added.
At the age of 6, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien was selected to practice equipment physical exercise at Ho Chi Minh City Sports. After more than 15 years of training and competition, Xuan Thien has realized his goal of participating in the World Championship. The player believes that each tournament will be a time to demonstrate his expertise but also to learn many things from the opponent.
When competing in this year's Asian Championship, I always pay attention to observing my colleagues in other countries. Watching them compete is another way to learn from experience. I can see that this or that move must be adjusted appropriately. Only then will I be more confident when competing in real competition, Xuan Thien said.
Don't miss the opportunity to conquer the 33rd SEA Games
Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien is the current SEA Games champion in the men's half-time event. When asked Xuan Thien about his professional preparation for the 33rd SEA Games this year, the player replied firmly: "I am determined to defend the Gold Medal I am holding. I set a goal for myself to strive for it.
This athlete won the Gold Medal at the 31st and 32nd SEA Games in the thorough horse event. Xuan Thien expressed that the feeling of victory at the SEA Games arena brought great excitement because the competition had competition between the top athletes in the region. Remember after his performance at the round horse final held at Quan Ngua Sports Palace at the 31st SEA Games (2022), Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien received a lot of applause from the audience.
Tools and equipment physical training will not organize the 2023 and 2024 National Championship at Quan Ngua Sports Palace. Therefore, this year Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien returned here to participate in the 2025 National Championship. Very few people follow physical exercise directly in the stands. But we always receive love from viewers to perform our best profession in the exam. I and many athletes returned to Quan Ngua Sports Palace this time, which was the venue for the 31st SEA Games, so there are many memories coming back, said Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien.
Each athlete kept his own secret to achieve success when competing in the SEA Games. Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien is no exception. The player did not share it with the outside world and wanted to keep it a secret for himself. However, Xuan Thien affirmed that what always helps him be ready to compete in every tournament is to be confident. Above all, Xuan Thien does not let the pressure of achievements affect his expertise.
"As everyone knows, athletes have to practice a lot to master each movement in their content. In addition to the sublime minutes on the pitch, we have suffered many injuries. When competing, if they cannot overcome the psychological barrier that can lead to falling, it will be difficult to complete the performance best. Therefore, the coaches prepare us carefully with each technique. I am familiar with the sport of gymnastics and if I choose to choose it again, I will still pursue this sport, Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien shared.
