Vietnamese gymnasts begin their go at the 2015 World Gymnastics Championships in Scotland on October 23, potentially a step towards earning tickets to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.
The team includes Pham Phuoc Hung, Dinh Phuong Thanh, Le Thanh Tung, Do Thi Van Anh and team star Phan Thi Ha Thanh.
Hai Phong city native Ha Thanh has previously earned an Olympics spot when it was held in 2012 in London after winning a bronze medal in world championships in 2011.
Thanh is the team's medal hope at this year's event. She recently beat several leading world athletes for a gold medal in balance beam at the World Cup in Bulgaria in May.
To concentrate on the world championships, the Vietnam team abstained from two international events in Hungary and Croatia in September.
"If the athletes participate in these events, they would be overloaded before taking part in the world event, so we decided to cancel them," said Nguyen Kim Lan, head of the National Sports Administration's gymnastics division.

This is the first time since the adoption of the Convention that a country has served two consecutive terms on the Committee.

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.

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.

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 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.
