Athletics will be held 47 official events in Thailand this time. As planned, the Vietnam Athletics Team will participate in 39 events. "We have carefully reviewed the contents to have specific registration and up to now, all athletes have been most carefully prepared," said Mr. Nguyen Duc Nguyen, leader of the Vietnam Athletics team at the 33rd SEA Games.
The Vietnam Athletics Team is only absent in one case due to the injury of the throwing player Nguyen Hoai Van. The faces that won the Gold Medal at the 32nd SEA Games of the Vietnam Athletics Team, including Nguyen Trung Cuong, Nguyen Thi Oanh, Huynh Thi My Tien, Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuc... will continue to participate in Thailand this year.
Athletics expert Duong Duc Thuy (former Head of Athletics, General Department of Physical Education and Sports) analyzed: Regarding current professional indicators, I recognize that Vietnamese athletes are still capable of competing for achievements with opponents. The Vietnamese athletics force has good faces and expertise, but above all, they need stability in competing".
The Vietnam Athletics Team has changed its target to win 12 to 14 Gold Medals. Although initially set for the 33rd SEA Games, the target was to win 12 Gold Medals. However, changing the target depends on the strength and ability that can be disputed in practice on the field.
Absolutely ensure 12 gold medals
Mr. Duong Duc Thuy shared: I believe that if they play to their full potential, the Vietnam Athletics Team can surpass the achievement of 12 Gold Medals. However, in reality, the expertise on the field will directly affect the psychology and competition of athletes. But from the perspective of a professional, I understand that any player is confident in being ready to compete with all their might for the national flag and shirt color".
According to Mr. Duong Duc Thuy, the leading athlete in Vietnam's athletics, Nguyen Thi Oanh, will have the opportunity to ensure the same achievement at the 32nd SEA Games. In addition, the women's 4x400m relay team is still the focus of the Vietnam Athletics Team.
The target of 12 Gold Medals is based on the actual competition ability of key athletes - athletes trained by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Department of Physical Education and Sports throughout 2025.
At the working session with the Vietnam Athletics Team on December 3, Vice President of the Vietnam Athletics Federation - Mr. Pham The Trieu requested all athletes to maintain a fighting spirit. It is expected that members of the Vietnam Athletics Team will go to Thailand to participate in the 33rd SEA Games on December 9.
From now until before leaving, the players have entered a volume reduction cycle to keep the rhythm to avoid all injuries.Athletics expert Duong Duc Thuy acknowledged: The preparation volume has been carried out in 11 months.
The time to achieve the decline in performance has been determined.We are not in a hurry to calculate the medals ahead, but the top requirement is that the athletes must compete with the highest effort.
According to research, one of the top requirements of the Vietnam Athletics Team is that the group of young athletes need to achieve medal results at the 33rd SEA Games. Names such as Ta Ngoc Tuong, Duong Thi Thao, Le Thi Tuyet Mai, Ha Thi Thuy Hang, Le Quoc Huy...
The representative of the Vietnam Athletics Team's Coaching Board affirmed that all young athletes will have the opportunity to accumulate expertise from their beginnings at the SEA Games, but above all, the professional forecast has been set.
