Top Vietnamese female swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien failed in the semi-final of the women's individual 200m medley of the 2015 World Swimming Championship in Kazan, Russia, on August 2.
She clocked a time of 2:13.29 to rank 15th among 16 athletes in the category.
However, Vien's result was better than her own SEA Games record of 2:13.53, which she set in Singapore in June.
In the qualifying round, the 18-year-old ranked fifth with a time of 2:13.41.
Eight top swimmers in this division, including Katinka Hosszu of Hungary, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor of Great Britain and Kanako Watanabe of Japan will compete in the final on August 3.
Vien, who won one gold and two silver medals at the Youth Olympics last year, will continue taking part in the women's 400m medley and 400m freestyle.
Vietnam sent four representatives to compete in Russia, including Lam Quang Nhat, Hoang Quy Phuoc and Tran Duy Khoi.
Phuoc, who gained two B standards♊ in the men's 100m and 200m freestyle to 2016 Olympics in Brazil, will compete in the 200 freestyle on August 3.-VNA
Swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien is expected to defend her title at the Best Athletes and Coaches of 2014, which is being held on December 30 in three cities across the nation.
With her outstanding achievements in 2014, swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien has become Vietnam’s Best Athlete of the Year with 1,077 votes, announced the award organisation board on December 31.
Vietnam's top female swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien won a gold medal in the women's 200m medley at the 2015 United States National Swimming Championships on March 27.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
