The ASIAD 2026 games in ~~Japan~~ Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, have concluded, with the Vietnam Sports Delegation finishing 20th in the overall medal standings. Vietnam earned a total of 25 medals, consisting of 3 gold, 3 silver, and 19 bronze. Vietnam’s gold medal successes were concentrated in sepak takraw and karate. While the wushu team demonstrated progress by securing five medals, officials highlighted a necessity for “more targeted investment in Olympic-specific disciplines” to close the competitive gap with leading nations. In the final global standings, China secured first place with 169 gold medals, followed by host nation Japan in second with 83, and South Korea in third with 39. Notably, South Korea’s performance marked its lowest gold medal count since 1982, failing to meet its target of 40-45 gold medals. Within Southeast Asia, Thailand led the region with 18 gold medals, followed by Malaysia (9), Indonesia (5), and the Philippines (4), leaving Vietnam in fifth place among Southeast Asian nations. Following the games, the Vietnam Shooting Federation held a ceremony in Hanoi on October 9 to honor those who contributed to the delegation's success. The federation awarded 50 million VND and certificates of merit to Trịnh Thu Vinh, Nguyễn Thùy Trang, and Bùi Thúy Thu Thủy for earning a bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol team event. Coaches and experts also received 10 million VND in rewards. Federation President Đỗ Văn Bình noted that Trịnh Thu Vinh and Phạm Quang Huy also achieved top-four finishes in Asia for the 25m pistol rapid fire event.
