Olympian Vinh to focus on Asian Indoor Martial Arts Games
Thursday, August 8,2024AsemconnectVietnam - Markwoman Trinh Thu Vinh has moved her attention to titles at the sixth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG 6) which will be held in November in Thailand.
The Paris Olympian, teammates and coaches returned home on August 6.
Although Vinh was praised after her fourth place in the first 10m air pistol event and seventh in the 25m pistol, she said these were not her best performances and she would have to strive harder to get better in the upcoming events.
"It is my first time in the Olympics and it was difficult to avoid being nervous and worried, but besides that, it was an honor to represent Vietnam competing in the world's largest arena," she told media at the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi.
“I set a target of having best results possible. My results are all good, but they are still not enough to bring glory home. I regret more than anyone else, however, I gave it my best."
She added that she had to improve her level and needed a little luck during competition.
"I have also learned many lessons from international shooters. In my mind now is an Olympic defeat. I'm going to earn my place in the next Olympics and be more successful. I hope to raise the national flag in the international arenas."
Vinh will have little chance to rest. She will be one of key shooters of Vietnam at the Asian tournament, the first time this sport of precision is included in the list of competitions.
There will be five sets of medals available in the AIMAG 6 and in her classes of the 10m and 25 m air pistol Vinh will face strong rivals from India, South Korea and China, who just competed against her in Paris./.
