Volleyball player Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen has just entered the top 10 nomination categories for "Impressive Young Face - Sports" of VTV Awards 2024 and was nominated for "Female Athlete of the Year" at the Victory Cup 2024.
In particular, the Victory Cup is an award considered the "Oscar of Vietnamese Sports", so being nominated in the categories is an honor for athletes. This is a worthy recognition for the efforts of Bich Tuyen - the player with the most impressive performance of Vietnamese women's volleyball in 2024.
2024 marks the return of the 2000-born setter to the national women's volleyball team. The Vinh Long-born hitter joined at the right time when main attacker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy was injured, so she is considered a timely addition to coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's squad.
Responding to expectations, Bich Tuyen showed an important role, being the number 1 scorer for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team throughout 5 international tournaments, contributing to helping the team achieve many impressive achievements such as winning the AVC Challenge Cup, 3rd place in the FIVB Challenger Cup, 2nd place in the SEA V.League, 5th place in the Future Stars (friendly) and 2nd place in the VTV Cup.
His brilliant performance in the national team helped LPB Ninh Binh's setter win many outstanding achievements and individual titles such as scoring 114 points to become the best athlete of the AVC Challenge Cup 2024, the top scorer of the FIVB Challenge Cup 2024 (77 points after 3 matches), "Best Setter" of the first stage of SEA V.League 2024, "Best Setter" of VTV Cup 2024.
Meanwhile, at the club level, Bich Tuyen is an indispensable member of LPB Ninh Binh. She was trusted by coach Thai Thanh Tung to be the captain. The 24-year-old female player is the best scorer for the home team in domestic tournaments such as the National Championship, Hung Vuong Cup, VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup, Open Army Cup...
Bich Tuyen is also the leader of LPB Ninh Binh, helping the Ancient Capital team make its mark in the international arena. At the 2024 Asian Club Volleyball Championship, Bich Tuyen scored nearly 150 points, becoming the "Best Opposite Setter" of the tournament, contributing to LPB Ninh Binh finishing as runner-up and earning a ticket to the World Club Championship.
The 2024 FIFA Club World Cup is the last tournament for Bich Tuyen and her teammates this year. The captain of LPB Ninh Binh scored 46 points after 3 matches, achieving an efficiency of approximately 41%. She is one of the 10 athletes with the most points in the tournament, ranking above top stars such as Gabi Guimaraes, Irina Fetisova, Adenizia Da Silva or Miriam Sylla...
In addition, the Vinh Long native is also in the top 10 players with the most offensive points with 42 points, ranking 9th overall with Payton Caffrey.
With the above achievements, Bich Tuyen is a strong candidate for the two awards "Impressive Young Face - Sports" of VTV Awards 2024 and "Female Athlete of the Year" at the Victory Cup 2024.
The titles and experiences in 2024 will certainly be the motivation for Bich Tuyen to continue contributing to the national team, especially in the context that in 2025, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team will have two important tournaments: the world championship and the 33rd SEA Games.
