Vietnam will compete in 22 sports at this year’s games, aiming to make the podium in eight sports: athletics, swimming, gymnastics, shooting, taekwondo, karate, wushu and sepak takraw. The delegation hopes to finish between 15th and 20th places overall in the field of 45 participating countries and territories.
At the previous edition of the Games, held in Guangzhou, China four years ago, 267 Vietnamese athletes competed in 26 of the 42 events, earning a solitary gold medal thanks to karate artist Le Bich Phuong.
The 17th Games are scheduled to take place from September 19-October 6 in the Republic of Korea.
