ASIAD 19: Pressure to achieve

Sharing after the failure in the final of the 1,500m freestyle event when he only finished 4th with a performance worse than his previous performance, Vietnam's No. 1 swimmer Nguyen Huy Hoang said that the pressure of the current runner-up's performance and the high expectations of many people made him compete poorly. On the competition day yesterday, Vietnamese sports witnessed the unsatisfactory performance of female shooter Trinh Thu Vinh, who won a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics. She shed tears of disappointment and regret after her unsatisfactory performance in the 25m pistol event, failing to reach the final. Analyzing Thu Vinh's failure, coach Tran Quoc Cuong said: "Maybe Thu Vinh was under pressure and stress, leading to an unsuccessful performance". 2016 Brazilian Olympic shooting champion Hoang Xuan Vinh (now coach of the Vietnamese shooting team) admitted that Vietnamese shooting needs to be better invested so that promising athletes like Trinh Thu Vinh can succeed in the future.

Trinh Thu Vinh is disappointed with her performance.

In yesterday's competition, Vietnamese sports won 4 more bronze medals from Duong Thuy Vi, Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, Hua Van Doan (wushu) and Bac Thi Khiem (taekwondo).
