2024 Olympics: Head of Delegation Dang Ha Viet evaluates the results of Vietnamese Sports
Mr. Dang Ha Viet, Director of the Vietnam Sports Administration, Head of the Vietnam Sports Delegation at the 2024 Paris Olympics, shared that the fact that the Vietnamese delegation did not win any medals at this year's games was an undesirable result and left many regrets.
Head of the delegation Dang Ha Viet assessed that Vietnamese athletes have made certain progress and achieved achievements such as athlete Thu Vinh (Shooting) who twice reached the finals of the 10m and 25m pistol events. That achievement is also the best in all the competitions that Thu Vinh has competed in, this is a bright spot of Vietnamese sports.
In addition, sports such as Archery have also improved. In martial arts such as Judo or Boxing, Vietnamese athletes also competed very bravely but still had limited ability compared to their opponents. In other sports, Vietnamese athletes still have a gap compared to the Olympic arena, specifically in Swimming, Athletics and Rowing.
World No. 1 women's team Spain lost the bronze medal match, empty-handed at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Spain went into the 2024 Paris Olympics as reigning world champions, holders of the 2023 Ballon d'Or (Putellas) and top of the FIFA rankings, but ultimately fell short in their quest for a medal.
In the medal match against Germany that just ended, Spain was rated higher thanks to their versatile playing style and high quality squad. But perhaps their playing style was figured out by their opponents. From Colombia, Brazil and most recently Germany have found ways to counter the technical, small-team coordination style of the girls from the land of bullfighting.
At the end of the match, Germany won by a narrow margin while the 2023 Women's World Cup champion Spain officially went home empty-handed.
