Immediately after the match against Thai opponent Jutamas Jitpong ended, boxer Nguyen Thi Tam was checked by the first aid coach, then taken straight to the hospital. The initial examination results showed that Nguyen Thi Tam's injury was heavier than expected, when she was completely broken in front of her left leg.
Nguyen Thi Tam's injury occurred after Jitpong pressed on the skill behind his knee at the end of the second half. The injury was much more serious than the original prediction. The highest possibility is that Nguyen Thi Tam will have surgery and long -term competition. The 29 -year -old boxer was injured in the context that she prepared to attend ASIAD 2023.
With the newly encountered injury of Nguyen Thi Tam, the plan to prepare ASIAD and the Paris Olympic Games of Vietnamese sports may have to be adjusted. Because, at the present time, Nguyen Thi Tam is also one of the rare athletes who are able to compete in the gold medal in the continental arena, as well as the world.
In domestic and SEA Games tournaments, Nguyen Thi Tam often plays 52kg weight so that they do not have to squeeze too much. Coming to the Asian and World level tournaments recently, the boxer born in 1994 played in a weight of 50kg. But at the 32nd SEA Games, due to the weight of 50kg and 52kg, it was not included in the competition program, Tam had to promote 54kg.
At the 32nd SEA Games, Nguyen Thi Tam is also the most promising athlete to win the gold medal of Boxing Vietnam. The regional arena is the place where Thai and Philippine boxers dominate. Indonesia and Cambodia recently launched many prominent faces, especially in the male boxing.
