The athletics team arranged 4 athletes Ta Ngoc Tuong, Le Ngoc Phuc, Le Thi Tuyet Mai, Hoang Thi Minh Hanh to compete in the 4x400m men's and women's mixed relay final on the opening day of the tournament.
On the first day, June 20, the tournament only organizes the finals of 2 events including 4x100m mixed men's relay and 4x400m mixed men's relay.
The events will also take place in the evening local time at the competition venue in China.
Competing in the 4x400m mixed men's and women's relay final, the Vietnamese athletics team must compete for achievements against teams from China, Kazakhstan, India and Sri Lanka.
Ta Ngoc Tuong was arranged to run in the first leg, followed by Le Thi Tuyet Mai and then Le Ngoc Phuc, while Hoang Thi Minh Hanh ran last.
At the end of the relays, 4 Vietnamese athletes reached a time of 3 minutes 18 seconds 58 and ranked 5th.
We had the opportunity to be in the group of 3 teams with the best results, but in the final stage, the opponents showed effective sprints, so the Vietnamese players were not successful.
In the event, the Kazakhstan team won a gold medal with a time of 3 minutes 16 seconds 75. The Indian team won a silver medal (3 minutes 17 seconds 06), and the Chinese team won a bronze medal (3 minutes 17 seconds 20).
