In the Vietnam Gymnastics and Sports Development Strategy until 2030, with a vision to 2045, the achievement in the continental arena was set in the top 20 (2030) and the Top 15 (2045). Besides, there are "Olympic medals" (2030) and "in the top 50 in the Olympic Games" (to 2045). SEA Games is out of the table, because the fact shows that, even if there is no need to read the goals, plans, Vietnamese sports are still strong enough to participate in the top 3 and top 2. The problem here is to step out on the pitch Play continent. If "goals to 2030 and vision to 2045" are Top 20 and Top 15 respectively, feeling like Vietnamese sports still only ... stand still!? Because of the fact, since the 21st century, Vietnamese sports had 3 times (out of 5 ASIAD periods took place) in the Top 20, of which, in 2002 ranked 15, with 4 gold medals. .
4 gold medals are also the second highest number of Vietnamese sports in the last 5 ASIAD periods, inferior to the 2018 event, with 5 gold medals but ranked 16th. Along with the 2 ASIAD 2010 and 2014 periods are all There is only 1 gold medal and ranked 24 and 21 respectively, the feeling of the "erratic up and down" of Vietnamese sports is the most obvious.
Returning in 2002, only two gold medals were able to reach the top 20, while for 2018 were 3 gold medals. It can be said that the difference will be very close, but remember that, in 2018, Vietnamese sports have won 5 ASIAD gold medals and 16th rank, so setting goals after 15 years to be in the top. 15 is not something somewhat ... confusing, based on the so -called "vision to develop"!?
But actually, such vision is also reasonable once the budget for sports investment is always limited. Experts understand that investment in sports needs a huge financial figure, from facilities, equipment to people ... Therefore, set goals in the big arena also need more Investment, both from the state budget and socialization but difficult, at least in this context.
