Vietnam weightlifting closes the list for the 31st SEA Games

The Vietnamese weightlifting team competed at the 31st SEA Games with 14 athletes, competing in 14 weight classes with well-known candidates like Lai Gia Thanh, Hoang Thi Duyen, Hong Thanh, as well as new faces like Khong My Phuong, Dinh Thi, Thu Hien, Xuan Hoang, Quang Truong…

Notably, the absence of Thach Kim Tuan and Vuong Thi Huyen. Kim Tuan’s replacement was thought to be Ngo Son Dinh, but in the end, the subject chose Nguyen Ngoc Trung in the 61kg category. However, the opportunity to win gold in this weight class is extremely difficult, because opponent Eko Yuli proved to be superior.

At this year’s SEA Games, wrestlers from Malaysia and Thailand will return after a ban on doping, which will make the gold medal chances of the Vietnamese weightlifting team much narrower. Hoang Thi Duyen is struggling with injury again, causing hope to be focused on Hong Thanh and Lai Gia Thanh.
