Awarding athletes with disabilities achieving high results

HNN.VN - On the morning of September 21st, the Association for people with Disabilities - Support for people with Disabilities and Orphans (ADSDO) held a ceremony to award coaches and athletes who achieved outstanding results at the 2025 National Championships for Athletes with Disabilities.

All participating athletes won medals

At the 2025 National Championships for Athletes with Disabilities (September 7th - 14th in Ho Chi Minh City), Hue City has six athletes and two coaches (one on-site, one providing remote guidance) participated in two sports: swimming and chess.

During the competition, all six athletes from Hue City won medals. In swimming: Nguyen Thai Duong (bronze in the 50m butterfly, bronze in the 50m backstroke, and gold in the 50m freestyle); Le Hieu (bronze in the 100m butterfly); Tran Van Luan (bronze in the 50m breaststroke). In chess: Vo Van Duy - Le Quang Tuyen (bronze in the rapid team event); Vo Van Duy - Hoang Xuan Thu (bronze in the blitz team event).

Notably, Nguyen Thai Duong’s gold medal in the 50m freestyle has raised hopes for the revival of Hue’s para-sports after many years without reaching the top podium at this national-level competition.

At the award ceremony, through ADSDO, Vo Si Dan - Chairman of the Vietnamese Solidarity Association in France - presented five scholarships, each worth VND 4 million, to orphaned students in difficult circumstances.
