MC Huyen Trang: Emotions still intact when hosting the Olympia final
Returning as the MC of the 25th Road to Olympia final round, Huyen Trang (Mustard) shares about the pressure, preparation and mission to inspire the contestants.
MC Huyen Trang (Mustard) will continue to accompany the audience as the host at the final match of the 25th Road to Olympia. Although this is the second time she has taken on this position, she said she still feels excited and proud. This year, she will be present at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi to cheer for contestant Tran Bui Bao Khanh from Amsterdam High School.
Mission to connect and inspire from the bridge point
As a fan of the show for nearly 20 years, Huyen Trang expressed her happiness at being part of the production team. She emphasized that the most important role of an MC at the bridge is to connect and transmit energy. "The spirit and connection so that the contestants at studio S14 can feel the energy and the vibrant atmosphere... is what an MC needs to do best," the female MC shared.
She believes that the enthusiastic support from her hometown is a great source of motivation, adding strength and confidence to the climbers in their journey to conquer the laurel wreath. To prepare for the important match, Huyen Trang and her team have carefully researched contestant Tran Bui Bao Khanh, not only through the competition but also learning about his personality and interests. "Hopefully the spiritual gift that Hanoi Bridge brings will surprise Bao Khanh and bring joy to the television audience," she added.
The real pressure is on the climbers.
According to Huyen Trang, the biggest pressure in the final round did not belong to the MC team but to the four contestants. She said: "When standing at the bridge, we were like a real audience cheering for all four climbers. I think the most pressure was on the four contestants, because the atmosphere in the studio was always tense and suffocating with each question."
The female MC also humorously recalled the memory of leading the bridge in Hai Phong in 2023, where the contestant missed the laurel wreath in the last seconds. She and her students "hugged each other and cried with regret". According to her, it was the tension and drama until the last minute that made this intellectual playground especially attractive.
Final match message and information
Before the G-hour, Huyen Trang sent her best wishes to the contestants, hoping that they would be brave and confident to shine and have a memorable final match. "Glory does not only come from victory, but also from the journey of striving to perfect yourself," she advised.
