The competition program of the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships will be held in China from February 6 to February 8.
The coaching staff of the Vietnamese athletics team sent athlete Bui Thi Kim Anh to participate in the women's high jump event. Along with her, teammate Duong Thi Thao will participate in this event.
This is the first time the 2 young athletes have participated in the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships.
Last year at SEA Games 33, Bui Thi Kim Anh, who participated for the first time, won the women's high jump championship. She achieved a result of 1m86. This is the best professional index that Bui Thi Kim Anh has ever competed in in an official tournament of the Vietnam Athletics Team.
In addition to this athlete, teammate Duong Thi Thao won a bronze medal in the high jump at the above Games.
Bui Thi Kim Anh and Duong Thi Thao have returned to professional training at the National High-Level Athlete Training Center since SEA Games 33.
The goal of the Vietnamese athletics team is to try to achieve the best results in the high jump event at the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships. In 2024, the tournament is held in Iran, but we do not participate.
At that time, the achievement of the women's high jump championship to achieve a gold medal was 1m86. This index is the achievement that Bui Thi Kim Anh achieved at the recent SEA Games 33.
Previously, the coaching staff of the Vietnamese athletics team also determined that athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh will participate in the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships. Oanh will compete in the women's 1,500m and 3,000m events.
