Oanh arrives in Hungary for 2023 World Athletics Championships
VOV.VN - Talented Vietnamese athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh has landed in Hungary ahead of competing at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, which is scheduled to take place in Budapest from August 19 to August 27.
According to the schedule, 28-year-old Oanh will compete in the women's 1500m event, with the preliminary rounds commencing on August 19.
The Bac Giang-born athlete is the nation’s only representative to take part in the event. Despite no Vietnamese athletes meeting this year's championship qualification criteria, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) decided to extend an invitation slot to Vietnam.
Oanh's latest result was a gold medal achieved in the Asian Indoor Athletics Championship which were held in Kazakhstan back in February.
At SEA Games 32, the Vietnamese athlete successfully grabbed four gold medals in the 1,500m, 5,000m, and 3,000m steeplechase.
