Road to Olympia champion Tran The Trung considers studying abroad in Australia

One day after successfully climbing the mountain and becoming the 2019 Olympia Champion, Tran The Trung has returned to normal life and is expected to return to Nghe An this evening.

The family and Tran The Trung also sent sincere thanks to the program's Organizing Committee, organizations, and the large audience at home and nationwide television viewers who supported and followed Trung throughout his participation in the competition and gave him the motivation to complete his performance in the best possible way.

At this point, although he has a $35,000 prize to study abroad in Australia, Tran The Trung also said that he will "consider whether or not to study abroad": He still has about 1 year left to complete high school and there are many options. Therefore, he needs time to make his decision on whether or not to study abroad.

Previously, after the contest ended, Tran The Trung also answered the media about returning to Vietnam to work after studying abroad.

She also said: Of course, those who study abroad and stay abroad also have their own way to build the country. But for me, I have my own reason to return. Maybe because I was born into a family with a revolutionary tradition, my grandfather is the Head of the Party History Department, my father is a military officer and my mother is a Politics teacher, so since I was little, I have always wanted to be attached to my homeland and country.

In an interview with Nghe An Newspaper a week before the Olympia competition, Tran The Trung also shared many dreams. In particular, although he is a student majoring in Natural Sciences and won the first prize in the provincial Physics competition, he is very passionate about the media industry and is currently the Head of the Technical Department of Phan School's internal newspaper as a designer and reporter.

Therefore, in the future, Tran The Trung hopes to study at a journalism school or a university specializing in information technology to pursue his interests.
