Athletes with high professional achievements will be reviewed by the coaching staff of the Vietnam Athletics Team to select faces to participate in the 33rd SEA Games.
The Vietnam Athletics Team plans to reduce the number of official registration forces to participate in the 33rd SEA Games in early September. From Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung's sharing, it can be seen that the professional achievements at the 2025 National Athletics Championship will play a decisive role in deciding the competition space for the 33rd SEA Games for each athlete.
However, in addition to the factor of achieving high results to find opportunities to participate in the 33rd SEA Games, athletes also focus on winning medals for their home team. At the same time, the units will take the 2025 National Athletics Championship as a force test to prepare for the 10th National Sports Festival in 2026.
Last year, the tournament had 6 national records set in the events of women's 4x200m relay, men's 4x400m relay, women's 4x800m relay, men's hammer throw, women's hammer throw, and women's disc throw.
The representative of the athletics department (Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports) affirmed: Each national record achievement is the effort to achieve the expertise of each athlete. We really hope that this year's tournament will surpass more records.
We also carefully disseminate the competition regulations so that units can grasp and disseminate them to athletes in order to comply with issued regulations to achieve the best results".
