Six years ago, we met young player Tran Hung Nguyen (16 years old) in the central swimming pool of the 30th SEA Games in 2019 in the Philippines. Entering the competition of the first Southeast Asian Games in her career, Hung Nguyen surprised all audiences when she won a double Gold Medal (men's individual 200m mixed event, men's individual 400m mixed event).
At that time, Hung Nguyen's sharing was very easy to follow: "I just know that when I am in the water, I have to swim very quickly. I told myself to try my best to get up, get up faster and not fall back. And you are the first to really finish.
After 6 years, Hung Nguyen still maintains that competitive spirit at the 33rd SEA Games. After winning the first Gold Medal in the men's individual 200m mixed event for the Vietnam Swimming Team, the athlete expressed: "I am not under any pressure when competing in the final. After the qualifying round, there are adjustments. When swimming in the finals, I told myself that I had to be very quick or I would have fallen behind....
Tran Hung Nguyen has officially reached the milestone of winning 10 Gold Medals for herself in her appearances at the SEA Games up to now. The Gold Medal achievement was initiated by the former Quang Binh (now Quang Tri) at the 30th SEA Games.
In her career, Hung Nguyen still has a goal of having the opportunity to touch the ASIAD medal.
