Surprise and disappointment in weightlifting.

Weightlifter Tran Minh Tri astonished athletes from Thailand and Indonesia, as well as many spectators at the Olympic Stadium. Trailing significantly in the snatch and total lift (298 kg compared to 305 and 304 kg), the weightlifter from An Giang province made a daring decision to increase the weight in his final clean and jerk attempt to 176 kg. Minh Tri successfully lifted 176 kg to the cheers of many Vietnamese fans in the stands. The 2004-born weightlifter won the gold medal with a total lift of 306 kg, simultaneously setting a new SEA Games record in the clean and jerk event.

Tran Minh Tri won a gold medal in weightlifting on his first appearance at the SEA Games.

Minh Trí performed exceptionally well.

Minh Trí himself couldn't believe he had done it. He said: "I couldn't believe I would successfully lift 176 kg and win the gold medal. Before that, I only thought about giving it my all. During training, my best performance was only 170 kg." Sharing with Thanh Niên newspaper , Minh Trí said he came to weightlifting by chance: "Before that, I had never been exposed to weightlifting. In 2016, a coach came to my class to assess me, saw that I had the potential, and selected me for the talent team."

Today (May 15th), the Vietnamese sports delegation continues to compete in judo, fencing, chess, table tennis, sepak takraw, taekwondo, weightlifting, and stick fighting. In table tennis, Nguyen Duc Tuan and Nguyen Anh Tu compete in the men's singles; Nguyen Khoa Dieu Khanh and Bui Ngoc Lan compete in the women's singles. In weightlifting, Dinh Thi Thu Uyen competes in the women's 64 kg final, and Lam Thi My Le competes in the women's 71 kg final. Fencing features the men's team sabre event (Van Quyet, Thanh An, Duc Anh, Xuan Loi) and the women's team foil event (Thanh Nhan, Ngoc Luyen, Van Anh, Thu Phuong)...

Having missed out on the gold medal, weightlifter Hoang Thi Duyen was on the verge of tears: "I lost, I lost."

While newcomer Tran Minh Tri surprised everyone yesterday, Vietnam's most anticipated female weightlifter, Hoang Thi Duyen, left behind disappointment. The Giay ethnic girl failed to defend her gold medal from the previous two SEA Games. Duyen's total lift at SEA Games 31 (where she won gold) was 204 kg, while her total lift in Cambodia was 205 kg, but she only won bronze. Hoang Thi Duyen choked up, saying, "There are a thousand reasons, but I have to accept my loss. When I lose, only those who have supported me can understand how hard I tried. I lost, and there are no excuses."

Yesterday, May 14th, the Vietnamese sports delegation had a spectacular performance, winning 20 gold medals to maintain their top position overall. Among the 20 gold medals, the most notable was the gold medal in mixed doubles table tennis. In addition, Olympic sports such as wrestling, fencing, and taekwondo all had a successful day of competition.
