It’s great to see this level of intensity from veteran weightlifters such as such as Quoc Toan, Kim Tuan and Anh Tuan as well as the younger athletes said chief weight-lifting coach Huynh Huu Chi.
Coach Chi said it speaks to the quality of the depth of the team we are fielding not only the upcoming SEA Games but for the 2016 Olympics set for Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
A spokesperson from the national sports centre said on February 21 that women wrestlers Nguyen Thi Lua and Vu Thi Hang are strong hopefuls for medals in Singapore and at the 2016 Olympic games.
