Anh Vien received a reward of nearly 700 million VND after the SEA Games.

As the most successful athlete of the Vietnamese sports delegation (VSD) at the 29th SEA Games, swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien will receive a cash and in-kind reward of about 700 million VND.

Anh Vien ended the tournament in Malaysia by winning 8 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and breaking 3 SEA Games records. According to the State's regulations, athletes who win individual gold medals will be awarded 45 million VND. The corresponding figures for each individual silver and bronze medal are 25 million VND and 20 million VND. Athletes who break SEA Games records will receive an additional 15 million VND.

Accordingly, Anh Vien received 410 million VND for 10 medals. In addition, she broke 3 SEA Games records so she received an additional 45 million VND. With the bonus, the swimmer born in 1996 received an additional 96 million VND (10 million VND for each gold medal and 8 million VND for each silver medal).

Anh Vien received a lot of bonuses after SEA Games 29. However, this number is not equal to 2 years ago.

In cash alone, Anh Vien received 551 million VND for her achievements at the SEA Games. In addition, she also received 8 smart TVs from a sponsor, worth 16 million VND each (totaling 128 million VND). Combining both cash and gifts, the material value this swimmer received was up to 679 million VND.

Almost certainly, Anh Vien will be the athlete who receives the most rewards from the Vietnamese sports delegation. This figure does not include the rewards from the management unit as well as other sponsors after the SEA Games. A company that once gave Anh Vien a house also promised to give her a worthy reward.

The athletics team promises to be rewarded handsomely after winning 17 SEA Games gold medals.

At the 28th SEA Games, the State budget spent more than 15 billion VND as rewards for the Vietnamese sports delegation winning 73 gold medals, 53 silver medals and 60 bronze medals. This year, the amount will be slightly lower because it will be difficult for the delegation to repeat the achievement when the tournament ends in 2 days.

Two years ago, the athletics team was the team that received the most rewards, up to over 2.4 billion VND from the state budget. This year, Nguyen Thi Huyen and her teammates will receive higher treatment when for the first time leading the whole team with 17 gold medals, 11 silver medals and 6 bronze medals.

The president of the Vietnam Athletics Federation and a sponsor alone awarded the team 1.1 billion VND after returning home.
