Olympia 2025: 3 memorable moments from the runners-up
Although they didn't win the laurel wreath, Thanh Tung, Nhut Lam, and Duy Khoa still left a deep impression on the audience with their excellent and dramatic answers.
The final round of the 25th season of the "Road to Olympia" competition has officially concluded with Trần Bùi Bảo Khánh emerging victorious. However, the other three contestants, Đoàn Thanh Tùng, Nguyễn Nhựt Lam, and Lê Quang Duy Khoa, also delivered outstanding performances, leaving many memorable moments for the audience.
Doan Thanh Tung and his spectacular Obstacle Course challenge.
Contestant Doan Thanh Tung from Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted, Khanh Hoa, created one of the most dramatic moments in the final round. After only two horizontal clues, Thanh Tung decisively pressed the buzzer to answer the keyword in the Obstacle Course segment.
With the correct answer, "The Soul of Truong Ba, the Body of a Butcher," a keyword with 21 letters, Thanh Tung's boldness and intelligence caused the entire studio and millions of viewers to erupt in cheers, earning him several important points.
Nguyen Nhut Lam conquers complex English questions.
Nguyen Nhut Lam, representing Cai Be High School in Dong Thap province, made a strong impression with his outstanding foreign language skills. In the final round, Nhut Lam faced an English question that was considered very long and difficult.
Not only did he listen to and accurately translate the entire question, but he also meticulously recorded the complex data. This outstanding answer, along with the use of the "Star of Hope" feature, helped Nhựt Lam make a spectacular comeback in terms of points. Editor Lê Hiếu Minh Đức (Dylan Le), who asked the question, also expressed his admiration for the contestant's abilities on his personal page.
Le Quang Duy Khoa's disappointing answer
Le Quang Duy Khoa from Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted in Hue, who always excels at calculation and logic questions, had an unfortunate moment in the final round. He received a 30-point question requiring quick thinking.
In just 30 seconds, Duy Khoa gave the answer 3194.3 m/s. However, this answer missed a crucial step: rounding to the nearest whole number as required by the question (the correct answer is 3194 m/s). This small oversight cost Duy Khoa 30 valuable points, leaving him and his fans disappointed.
Although the final results have been decided, all four climbers delivered a dramatic and emotional final, showcasing their talent and extensive knowledge, proving themselves worthy representatives of the younger generation.
