General Secretary of the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation Phan Anh Tuan praised the outstanding achievements of Dinh Anh Hoang and Tran Mai Ngoc. The two young athletes won a historic gold medal for Vietnamese table tennis 26 years after the two athletes Vu Manh Cuong and Ngo Thu Thuy won the gold medal at the 1997 SEA Games.
Chairman of the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation Nguyen Xuan Vu said that in the coming time, the federation will coordinate with the state management agency, the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, and call for social resources to contribute to Vietnamese table tennis. It is expected that the Vietnamese table tennis team will train in the US in June to learn, improve their skills, and prepare for major tournaments, the first of which will be the 19th ASIAD, held in Hangzhou, China in September.
Coach Le Huy shared: "Through the last two SEA Games, we have learned how countries in the region invest in table tennis. Therefore, we hope that the team will receive more attention and investment. The immediate task is to determine where Vietnamese table tennis is currently, at what level, to make appropriate adjustments."
