Phuong Thanh belongs to the “banyan tree” of the team because he has turned 27 – the age is considered the most mature of the sport. sport This Olympics.

2/3 gold target sea ​​Games completed, still have to win at least 1 more gold medal to meet the number of assigned tasks. It is very difficult when the Philippine opponent is still “standing” out there. Carlos Yulo – an athlete who was once considered a Philippine sports prodigy when he won the world silver at the age of 18 and then 1 year later (2019) beat big names to win the world championship. Yesterday’s stage was Phuong Thanh and Yulo’s. Thanh was born in 1995, 7 years older than his opponent. Both performed excellently, but in decisive moves such as planting a banana tree on the bar, Thanh performed more perfectly when his arms were not bent like Yulo. Thanh’s young opponent made a few small mistakes, causing the referee to deduct points. Maybe Yulo is mentally ill. Thanh won gold with a very high score and Yulo won silver and Thanh Tung there is copper. Stepping into the barbell test, it’s even more thrilling and dramatic. Both performed above the level of excellence. Thanh is still better at the “banana stand” movement and Yulo is more skilled at landing. Neither side won, the referee gave both gold medals, and Tung got bronze.

Coach Truong Minh Sang shared: “The coach is very happy because two generations of students have brought glory to the country. The achievement of 4 gold medals exceeded the set target. The choice of 9X generation athletes like Thanh and Tung to combine with the athletes of the 2000s generation is correct and accurate. The young friends create new momentum and fresh breeze, and older athletes are examples of perseverance, toughness, and experience. Young bamboo shoots have not grown old yet.” It is also interesting that the two coaches of the men’s gymnastics team are also two generations: 63-year-old teacher Truong Tuan Hien and 30-year-old young teacher Truong Minh Sang.
