Pham Thi Hue celebrates her achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
For Pham Thi Hue - a veteran rower of the Vietnamese Rowing team, winning the Olympic ticket three times is a great effort. However, the previous two times she missed the appointment due to the regulations of the organizing committee, but this time, the rower born in 1990 continued to excel in winning the ticket and officially competing for the first time at the Olympics. Before participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics, experts said that the opportunity for Vietnamese rowing at the Olympics was very fragile because there was still a large gap between us and the world. Therefore, achieving this achievement was a remarkable and valuable effort of Pham Thi Hue for Vietnamese sports. At the age of 34, Pham Thi Hue has been and is a shining example for young athletes to follow because of her relentless efforts and overcoming herself. The mother of two grown daughters still strives to practice every day and makes people forget the burden of age in terms of performance. Pham Thi Hue and the remaining 15 Vietnamese athletes participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics have all tried their best in training and competing. Their efforts are not just a day or two but a process, so no matter what the results in Paris this time, they still deserve to receive praise and encouragement.Nhandan.vn
