Holding the medal after winning the men's 85kg weightlifting final at the 2025 Pencak Silat Asian Championship (ending on the evening of July 30 in Ha Tinh), Nguyen Duy Tuyen expressed his emotion: "I have focused on preparing before the tournament and this result is the effort of myself as well as the general preparation of the Vietnam Pencak Silat Team. I would like to thank the fans for cheering me on in the matches I have played.
The martial arts outfit is still moist from the sweat and wet face and hair, the image of Nguyen Duy Tuyen after the victory over opponent Seik Ferdous Bin Sheik Alau'ddin (Singapore) in the final match of the 2025 Pencak Silat Asian Championship.
However, the player confided that he was not tired. On the contrary, those salty drops of sweat help Duy Tuyen feel happier because her efforts are rewarded with the championship.
I have played at many levels in Southeast Asia, Asia and the world. But this is one of the few times I have played an international tournament at home. Maybe that's why winning a gold medal makes me have a very different feeling. When I heard the national anthem while standing on the podium to receive the medal, I almost cried, the male player added.
Evaluating the results of his student, head coach Nguyen Van Hung (Pencak silat Vietnam Team) affirmed that Duy Tuyen maintains his form. This player is still one of the fighters that is very difficult to overcome in the current men's 85kg weight class.
Nguyen Duy Tuyen affirmed that he has matured through each tournament. In 2012, when he was only 18 years old, Nguyen Duy Tuyen won the gold medal for the first time at the Pencak Silat World Championship.
Following success, Duy Tuyen conquered Southeast Asian, Asian and world arenas for many years. At the 18th ASIAD in 2018, Nguyen Duy Tuyen aimed to win a gold medal to mark her career.
Unfortunately, the player only won the bronze medal in the men's 90kg weight class. That is the best medal achievement of this boxer at the Asian Games arena.
At Ha Tinh Provincial Gymnasium, if asked about pencak silat, the player shared a lot because in each sentence, Duy Tuyen saw that he prioritized maximum professional concentration for this sport.
After the victory at the 2025 Asian Pencak Silat Championship, the national team coaching staff continues to prepare for Nguyen Duy Tuyen to compete in the 33rd SEA Games. The player said that he was very cautious with this year's Congress but determined to compete at the highest level.
In his career, Nguyen Duy Tuyen has won gold medals at the 29th, 31st and 32nd SEA Games. If selected by the coaching staff to the official squad to go to Thailand to participate in the 33rd SEA Games, Nguyen Duy Tuyen will have her fourth SEA Games.
