Players Quyet Chien and Hoang Sao were nominated for the prestigious award.
Vietnam's two number 1 billiard players in pool and 3-cushion carom, Duong Quoc Hoang (Hoang Sao) and Tran Quyet Chien (Tony Tran), have recently been nominated for the 2024 Victory Cup award, considered the Oscar of Vietnamese sports.
This should have been very good news for the Vietnamese billiards community when the achievements of both Quyet Chien and Quoc Hoang in 2024 were recognized. However, unnecessary controversies arose regarding the categories in which Hoang "Sao" and Quyet Chien were nominated.
Accordingly, Hoang Sao was nominated in the category of Male Athlete of the Year, while Quyet Chien was not named in this category. Vietnam's No. 1 3-cushion carom player is expected to be honored in the Team of the Year award with his junior Bao Phuong Vinh. Many opinions say that Quyet Chien is more deserving of the Male Athlete of the Year award with 2 World Cup titles and 1 World Team Championship title in 2024.
