Dr. Nguyen Quoc Chinh - Head of the IChO 2014 delegation of Vietnam said: "This year, the members of the Vietnamese team have shown their true abilities. The theoretical part is very long and difficult, but this year's practical part is much better than the previous competitions abroad because they were well prepared, but there were a few small points in the practical part, some of the calculations were a little careless. Their scores are in the range of 40-50 out of a maximum of 60 points. However, compared to the general level, they still did very well."
