Cyclist Nguyen Thi That replaces archer Anh Nguyet to hold Vietnam's flag at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

On July 17, information from the Vietnamese sports delegation said that because archer Do Thi Anh Nguyet had to compete right after the opening day, to ensure that this athlete could focus on preparing for professional work, the Vietnamese delegation decided to replace the flag bearer at the opening ceremony.

Accordingly, cyclist Nguyen Thi That from An Giang was chosen to replace her and will join badminton player Le Duc Phat to carry the Vietnamese flag at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The An Giang cyclist has proven her talent with three Asian championships and has been recruited by professional European clubs. She has just played for Roland Club (Switzerland) in the 2024 Tour Giro (Italy) and is training with this club to best prepare for the Paris Olympics.
