Vietnam women's volleyball has won 11 runner-up positions. Never won. But now, when in the sublime stage, with the fiery smashes from Thanh Thuy, Bich Tuyen or the remarkable maturity of the whole team, that dream is no longer too far away, but is a clear goal that can be achieved.
The 33rd SEA Games this year will be held in Thailand, putting the Vietnam Women's Team in a situation that is both familiar and challenging. quen, because they have met many times and... failed. The challenge, because opponents will not easily accept being sent off. But perhaps that is why this is the most appropriate time to conquer.
The achievements of Vietnamese women's volleyball in recent years are not by chance. From 4th place in Asia, to a resounding victory over Korea at the AVC Challenge Cup 2023, to the titles of the national team and youth team, that is a journey that has been invested in continuously. Amidst long-term training trips and important tournaments, Vietnamese women's volleyball currently has a generation of aspirational athletes, creating a foundation for the golden dream.
Thanh Thuy is 29 years old, in the prime of her career. Bich Tuyen is not only the " Strongest girl in the domestic volleyball village" but has now become an inspiration for fighting. The others, each with their own unique features, standing side by side, creating a formation with strong attack power and flexible defense. They not only hit the ball with muscle, but with experience, smoothness and a heart.
Before the SEA Games, Vietnam Women's Volleyball team has AVC Challenge Cup, VTV Cup, stage 1, 2 SEA V.League and especially FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship, to compete, learn, accumulate. But the coaching staff also needs to calculate so that athletes will not be overloaded when entering the SEA Games.
The target of winning the 33rd SEA Games Gold Medal is a big challenge. But it is not simply a sports target. That is an affirmation of the new position of Vietnamese women's volleyball. Of course, it's easy to say, but it's another story to do. But if he does not dare to think about glory, he will always live in the shadow of others.
