The organizing committee of the 2025 National Weightlifting Championship informed the participants about random doping tests. This year's tournament started on August 21 at Tien Son Sports Palace (Da Nang), attracting 180 athletes from 23 units.
Officers of the Vietnam Center for Sports Medicine and Doping took doping test samples for athletes at the tournament. However, the number of samples taken is kept confidential and information security is confidential. At the same time, the player is on the list of doping test samples announced according to the actual competition results on the floor.
Head of the weightlifting department (Vietnam Department of Physical Education and Sports) - Mr. Nguyen Huy Hung said: "Doping testing has been reported. This year, the achievements of athletes in the tournament will be one of the bases for the coaching staff of the Vietnam Weightlifting Team to select athletes to participate in the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand. Currently, the official list of activists attending the Congress is not yet available. The coaching staff will make a specific decision.
The Thai Organizing Committee announced the weightlifting competition including 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 94kg and over 94kg (men) and 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg and over 77kg (women). The 2025 National Weightlifting Championship will bring the above contents into competition so that Vietnamese athletes can get acquainted with the 33rd SEA Games.
At the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia, the Vietnam Weightlifting Team won four gold medals, one silver medal, and three bronze medals.
The Vietnamese weightlifting team aims to protect the achievements at the 33rd SEA Games. Therefore, selecting a professional boxer is important for the Vietnam Weightlifting Team's coaching staff.
The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has changed the content of the official tournament in June 2025. Southeast Asian Weightlifters also updated new content to suit the competition organization. This is the reason why the weightlifting event at the 33rd SEA Games has changed weight classes compared to before.
All players of the Vietnam Weightlifting Team have returned to their home team to participate in the 2025 National Championship. General Secretary of the Vietnam Weightlifting Federation - Mr. Do Dinh Khang affirmed: "The achievements of each athlete at this year's National Championship will have important value.
Units are calculating the force towards the 10th National Sports Festival in 2026, so they are eager to grasp the expertise of the national weight classes this time.
According to the registration of the Organizing Committee, the athlete who participated in the 2025 Paris Olympics (France) is Trinh Van Vinh, competing in the 2025 National Championship. Trinh Van Vinh is still a face that experts are interested in despite competing in domestic tournaments.
