Nguyen Thi Oanh: Female athlete always resilient, effortsful and overcomes prejudice

AN NGUYÊN |

Nguyen Thi Oanh is always proud that Vietnamese female athletes are always resilient, persistent in pursuing their passion and contributing greatly to the achievements of Vietnamese sports.

On the afternoon of June 30, the Department of Physical Education and Sports held a seminar on sharing knowledge about gender equality in sports with the theme "Sports and women in the era of rising up, towards sustainable development".

Athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh also attended and gave an emotional speech.

Oanh said: "I have been called up to the youth athletics team since 2012 until now, with many memorable milestones - milestones marked by sweat, effort and even tears.

One of the most touching memories was in 2014, when I had nephritis. At a very young age, with many aspirations ahead, facing illness was a big shock, causing me to almost collapse.

Luckily, I'm not alone. I always have family, teachers, teammates and great friends by my side. They constantly encourage and give me the strength to overcome the crisis and return to the track with a stronger spirit than ever."

The golden girl of Vietnam's athletics also emphasized that the journey to pursue sports has never been easy. In addition to professional pressure, female athletes also have to overcome prejudices such as "rude", "black elephant", "menly". But those things have helped her and many teammates become more courageous and courageous to maintain their passion.

"I have witnessed many female athletes inspiring with resilience, such as Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen - who returned to training and won the SEA Games gold medal after a short break from giving birth. Examples like her are a great motivation for our women's movement systems to believe in the value of endurance," said Nguyen Thi Oanh.

In most events, the contributions of female athletes to Vietnamese sports are always very impressive, from athletics, judo, women's football to taekwondo, physical education... Many SEA Games, athletes bring more than half of their medals to the national sports delegation.

"Not only working hard on the field, we also always try to improve ourselves, spreading a positive image to the community. With a spirit of pride, perseverance and valuable medals, the Vietnamese female athletes have proven one thing: Women can completely do extraordinary things," Nguyen Thi Oanh affirmed.
