(Sports news, SEA Games news) Few people expect that Hoang Thi Duyen, who is suffering from an injury, can still break the SEA Games record.

Although the general election level is not equal to the achievement compared to the previous SEA Games, the Lao Cai girl still creates a large gap (more than many kilograms) compared to the silver and bronze winners.

The 26-year-old female athlete excellently broke the 96 kg weightlifting record (the old record was 95 kg created by herself at the 2019 SEA Games). Duyen won gold in the women’s 59 kg class. In the push-pull turn, the Lao Cai girl raised the weight to 116 kg, but she failed to break the old record she was holding (115 kg).

The female athlete said that she will take a break to treat her injury: “Injury makes me unable to practice well, my performance is not as good as in 2019. Currently, I have not recovered from my injury. Being directly watched by my parents, I I feel better in the spirit of competition. It’s personal pride, it doesn’t put any pressure on me. The plan after the tournament is I will take a break to treat the injury for a full recovery, then I will attend a number of domestic tournaments to regain the feeling of competition before thinking about further goals.”

Duyen’s parents were present to cheer and witness the moment their daughter won glory for the country, they couldn’t hold back their tears. Duyen’s father confided: “Den has achieved today’s achievements thanks to the coaching staff and everyone. After Duyen returns, I will make her children eat the food she likes. After knowing that Duyen had an injury, We are very sad, but we hold back our hearts to support and encourage our children to overcome psychological stability and overcome difficult times.”
