The first quarter competition of the 19th Road to Olympia continued to witness an excellent and dramatic competition between four climbers: Tran The Trung (Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted), Bui Hau Giang (Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted, Da Nang), Ninh Thanh Vinh (Tay Thuy Anh High School, Thai Binh) and Nguyen Hoang Minh (Tran Phu High School, Hanoi).

Entering the first round, the Warm-up round, The Trung quickly completed 12 questions in his question package in a very short time and won 100 points. The remaining three climbers had the same score: Thanh Vinh 60 points, Hoang Minh 60 points and Hau Giang 60 points.

In the Obstacle Course round, after the first two questions, Hoang Minh was the one who quickly pressed the button and gave the answer “Tsunami”. This was also the correct answer of the program, helping Hoang Minh temporarily take the lead with 130 points. Following closely behind was The Trung with 110 points, Thanh Vinh and Hau Giang both got 70 points.

Originally considered the round that helps contestants break through, the Quarter I Acceleration round continued to be a chase between contestants. After the Acceleration round, Hoang Minh continued to lead with 200 points. Next was The Trung with 160 points, Hau Giang with 120 points and Thanh Vinh with 110 points.

Including many difficult questions related to many fields for all 4 climbers, the Finishing Part of Quarter I witnessed changes in scores that made the audience's heart stop. All 3 contestants The Trung, Hau Giang and Thanh Vinh decided to choose the 80-point question package with the hopeful star to create turning points in the important competition. The competition could not have been more dramatic when there was a time when the gap between the leader Hoang Minh (250 points) and the second place The Trung (240 points) was only 10 points.

Tran The Trung won first prize in the first quarter of the 19th Road to Olympia competition.

After going through extremely stressful questions, finally, The Trung successfully conquered Olympia Peak with 240 points, Hoang Minh won 235 points, Hau Giang 85 points and Thanh Vinh 25 points.
