In this qualifying round, Nhi Yen competed in the second group. She had the bib number 2494, starting in lane 7. The reaction time of the Vietnamese athlete after the gun was quite fast, only 0.165 seconds. Thanks to that, the runner from Long An had a good start, thereby finishing first in the second group with a time of 11 seconds 81.
Nhi Yen's excellent sprint
With this result, Nhi Yen won a place in the first qualifying round. The 2005-born girl's achievement was 7th out of 27 in the preliminary round. Nhi Yen has not been able to break her personal record. The best result she has ever achieved in the women's 100m event is 11 seconds 40 - a parameter that helped her win a silver medal at the Asian U.20 Athletics Championships at the end of April in the UAE. However, what she showed in her first appearance at the Olympic playground is also commendable.
Nhi Yen won the ticket to round 1
Hopefully, in the first qualifying round taking place at 4:50 p.m. today, Nhi Yen will break her personal record. This is also the goal she set before the Olympics. Nhi Yen is an emerging talent in Vietnamese athletics. She has only competed professionally for 2 years but has shown great potential, notably reaching the finals of 2 events at the 19th ASIAD.
Nhi Yen deserves a special ticket to the Paris Olympics
That is the reason why the Vietnam Athletics Federation awarded this athlete a special ticket to the Paris Olympics so that she can gain experience and develop even more strongly in the future.
At the age of 19, Nhi Yen has achieved many desirable achievements. The girl born in 2005 won 2 gold medals in the 200m and 100m events at the 2022 National Sports Festival and the 2023 National Championship, 1 silver medal in the 200m and 1 bronze medal in the 100m at the 32nd SEA Games, ranked 6th in the 100m distance at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championship, and reached the finals of the 100m and 200m at the 19th ASIAD.
It can be said that Nhi Yen is the athlete with the fastest and strongest progress in Vietnamese athletics in recent times, from participating in the 2022 National Sports Festival to the 32nd SEA Games, the 19th Asian Games and now the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Participating in the 2024 Olympics is my dream, and it is also a source of great pride for me. My goal at the Olympics is to compete as hard as I can to surpass my own best performance,” Nhi Yen said .
Nhi Yen is considered the successor who can follow in the footsteps of the Southeast Asian “speed queen” - Le Tu Chinh in the 100m and 200m distances of Vietnamese athletics in the future. Coincidentally, this runner from Long An is being carefully instructed by coach Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong - who previously trained Le Tu Chinh.
Sharing about the preparation process of the two teachers and students for the 2204 Paris Olympics, Coach Thanh Huong said: “Recently, Nhi Yen has prepared very well for the Olympics. She is also very determined to show herself in this arena.
Of course, there will be no pressure on Nhi Yen to achieve results because the Olympics is a very harsh arena. Therefore, both teachers and students have a very comfortable mentality. Hopefully, Nhi Yen will continue to strive to achieve good results at the 2024 Olympics."
