On the evening of June 2, Ha Thi Linh entered the play-off match for a ticket to the 2024 Olympics against her Finnish opponent - Vilma Viitanmen. This is the last chance for Vietnamese boxing to find another ticket to the Olympics.
Facing a strong opponent, the Vietnamese female boxer played very confidently, defended tightly and had high accuracy when attacking, winning the final match with a score of 4-1 (30/27, 29/27, 28/29, 29/28, 29/28).
The victory means Ha Thi Linh ranked 3rd in the women's 60kg category at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Bangkok (Thailand), but more importantly, she won an official ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Thus, Ha Thi Linh is the second Vietnamese boxer to attend the 2024 Olympics (after Vo Thi Kim Anh). 4 years ago, Vietnamese boxing also had 2 spots at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Nguyen Van Duong (57kg men) and Nguyen Thi Tam (51kg women).
Up to this point, Vietnamese sports have 11 official slots to attend the Paris Olympics, including Nguyen Thi That (cycling), Trinh Thu Vinh, Le Thi Mong Tuyen (shooting), Nguyen Huy Hoang (swimming), Trinh Van Vinh (weightlifting), Nguyen Thuy Linh, Le Duc Phat (badminton), Nguyen Thi Huong (canoeing), Pham Thi Hue (rowing), Vo Thi Kim Anh, Ha Thi Linh (boxing).
