Olympia 2025: 3 impressive moments from the runners-up
Although they did not 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 match of the 25th Road to Olympia has officially ended with the victory belonging to contestant Tran Bui Bao Khanh. However, the three remaining climbers, Doan Thanh Tung, Nguyen Nhut Lam and Le Quang Duy Khoa, also had excellent performances, leaving many memorable moments for the audience.
Doan Thanh Tung and the spectacular decoding of Obstacle
Contestant Doan Thanh Tung from Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted, Khanh Hoa, created one of the most dramatic moments of the final match. After only two lines of suggestions, Thanh Tung decisively pressed the bell to answer the keyword of the Obstacle Course round.
With the correct answer "Truong Ba's soul, butcher's skin", a 21-letter keyword, Thanh Tung's daring and intelligence made the entire studio and millions of viewers burst into tears, bringing him some important points.
Nguyen Nhat Lam conquers complex English questions
Nguyen Nhat Lam, representative from Cai Be High School, Dong Thap, made a strong impression with his outstanding foreign language ability. In the Finish Line round, Nhat Lam faced an English question that was considered very long and difficult.
Not only did he listen and translate the entire question accurately, he also recorded all the complex figures. This excellent answer, along with the use of Hope Star, helped Nhat Lam make a dramatic comeback in terms of score. Editor Le Hieu Minh Duc (Dylan Le), who asked the question, also expressed his admiration for the candidate's ability on his personal page.
Le Quang Duy Khoa's regrettable answer
Le Quang Duy Khoa of Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted - Hue, who has always been strong in calculation and logic questions, had an unfortunate moment in the Finish Line round. He received a 30-point question that required quick thinking.
In just 30 seconds, Duy Khoa gave the answer 3194.3 m/s. However, this answer lacked an important step of rounding to the nearest digit as required by the question (the correct answer is 3194 m/s). This small omission caused Duy Khoa to lose 30 valuable points, leaving many regrets for himself and his fans.
Although the final results were known, all four climbers gave a dramatic and emotional final match and demonstrated their talent and extensive knowledge, worthy of being excellent representatives of the young generation.
