Vietnam secures fourth ticket to Paris Olympics


Hanoi: Le Thi Mong Tuyen has earned Vietnam’s fourth ticket to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics following her excellent performance at the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championship 2024 which is being held in Indonesia from January 7-17.

The coaching staff said on January 10 that gaining 125.9 points in the finale and ranking fourth in the women’s 10-metre air pistol event, Tuyen was qualified to attend the Olympics.

On January 9, markspersons Pham Quang Huy and Trinh Thu Vinh won a gold medal in the 10-metre air pistol mixed team event. However, this does not count as an Olympic qualifier.

Earlier, Vinh won a slot at the Olympics as she achieved a high result at the 53rd ISSF World Shooting Championships in Azerbaijan in August 2023.

Cyclist Nguyen Thi That and swimmer Nguyen Huy Hoang also grabbed berths at the summer games in Paris./.
