On May 9, according to information iThethao.vn Noting, the Department of Sports and Sports signed a decision to set up a Vietnamese boxing team to attend the 2nd Olympic qualifying round in Thailand. This list does not have the name of athlete Nguyen Thi Tam, who attended the first qualifying round in Italy in the weight of 50kg.
Also according to information from iThethao.vnthe fact that Nguyen Thi Tam was “named” from the 2nd Olympic qualifying round took place 1 month ago. In the document sent to the Vietnam Olympic Committee on the list of athletes competing for the second qualifying round, Nguyen Thi Tam still has a name, but in the reserve category.
Compared to the list sent to the Vietnam Olympic Committee on April 9, there are 2 members who are not in the decision of the Sports Department. It was expert Tawan Mungphingklang and athlete Nguyen Thi Tam. From an official player competing in the first qualifying round, Nguyen Thi Tam was pushed down to the 2nd qualifying reserve position and did not play.
The person was promoted to the list of official players in the 2nd Paris Olympic qualifying round, weight of 50kg women, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tran (Can Tho). Ngoc Tran was facilitated to play in the context that she had never won national tournaments, and had just played badly at the U22 Asian Championship.
Ahead of the Boxing U22 and Asian Championship 2024, athlete Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tran declared her goal was to win the championship. However, she lost the match first before the boxer Khulan Altanbyek (Mongolia), who later did not go deep at the tournament.
Compared to the U22 and Asian Championships 2024, the Paris Olympic qualifier is considered a much higher professional and higher quality tournament. The strong athletes of many countries such as Kazakhstan, the Republic of Ireland, Japan … still do not have tickets in the weight of 50kg.
