Vietnam's number one swimmer was emotional when he stepped up to the podium to receive his first gold medal at the 29th SEA Games.
 |
| Nguyen Thi Anh Vien started this year's SEA Games with a defeat in the 200m - an event in which she is the defending champion. But very quickly, about an hour later in the 100m backstroke, the Vietnamese swimmer impressively won with a time of 1 minute 01 second 89. |
 |
| Anh Vien waved to the crowd of Vietnamese fans. |
 |
| A bit shy of the 21-year-old champion. Successful and famous from a very early age, having gone through hundreds of competitions all over the world... but Anh Vien still maintains her innocence and cheerful personality. |
 |
| The 100m backstroke event is not Anh Vien's strong point. At the SEA Games, the one who dominated this event was Tao Li with six wins in the last six SEA Games. This year, the Singapore legend did not participate, and Anh Vien seized the opportunity to win a gold medal. She even broke Tao Li's record of 1 minute 02 seconds 11. |
 |
| When the host announced Anh Vien's name as the winner, she appeared emotional. |
 |
| Wiping away his tears, the Vietnamese swimming legend stepped up to the podium to receive the Gold Medal. |
 |
| At this year's SEA Games, the minimum goal set for the swimmer from Can Tho is 8 gold medals. |
 |
| The golden girl of Vietnamese Sports said she wanted to dedicate this gold medal to her family and friends, and promised to win more. |
