At the age of 30, Ha Thi Linh entered the National Boxing Championship as the reigning national championship. A year ago, she won gold medal in the National Sports Festival of 2022 in a weight of 66kg. However, in this year's tournament, Ha Thi Linh did not play 66kg weight, but competed in 63kg.
On the journey to the national gold medal, Ha Thi Linh defeated rivals Tran Thi Tuyet Tran (Tien Giang), Ban Thi Kieu (Thai Nguyen) and Luong Thi Ngoan (An Giang). In the semi -final against Ban Thi Kieu, Ha Thi Linh only takes 1 half to win against the veteran opponent.
In the final against Luong Thi Ngoan, Ha Thi Linh showed that she was not afraid of a younger opponent. The strong blow was shown by Hanoi boxers during the competition. The final victory is in favor of Ha Thi Linh, thereby helping her successfully defend the championship.
After 15 years of boxing competition, Ha Thi Linh still persisted to assert herself in the leading position. She is not only a “class” boxer for the Hanoi Women's Boxing, but also becomes an example for an effort to overcome difficulties to reach success with this sport. After getting married and becoming a mother of two children, Ha Thi Linh still played well.
By the end of 2023, Ha Thi Linh will continue to aim for greater goals in the near future. In the next year, she will join the boxing of the Vietnamese Boxing team to attend the Paris Olympic qualifying round. Vietnam is expected to attend two qualifying rounds in Italy (February 2024) and Thailand (April 4-524).
