The most hopeful of securing medals at the World’s biggest sporting event are in taekwondo, weightlifting and badminton.

Significantly, taekwondo martial artist Tran Thi Ngoc Truc will replace her teammate Hoang Ha Giang at the event due to Giang’s health. She was said to have been infected by a kind of virus during her training in the Republic of Korea.
