Table tennis player Phan Dang Minh Duc of Agribank Ha Tinh Table Tennis Club created a surprise in the tournament when he won the gold medal in the men's singles under 35 years old event.
The most impressive thing about the tournament was probably the dramatic “dethronement” of Phan Dang Minh Duc of Agribank Ha Tinh Table Tennis Club in the men’s singles under 35 years old category. Facing the reigning champion Thai Nhu Y (La Son Club), with his youthful strength, Minh Duc played with great effort and tried to make a dramatic comeback with a score of 3-2.
Emotional celebrations.
The audience also witnessed the exciting team final between Thanh Dong Club and La Son Club. After 4 matches, Thanh Dong Club defeated its opponent with a score of 3-1 to win the championship.
Do Nguyen Viet Anh (Thanh Dong Club) had a sweet return with the team championship.
The success of Thanh Dong Club is the combination of the experience of veteran players like Tran Huu Loi and the youth of Do Nguyen Viet Anh. The 1999-born player had a sweet comeback with the championship in the team event.
Impressive technique, possessing the ability to serve the ball annoyingly, excellent defense, Viet Anh always receives the attention of the audience every time he enters the field.
At the age of 72, participating in the tournament for the first time, tennis player Nguyen Hong Duc (Voi Club - Ky Anh) excellently won the silver medal in the men's singles over 51 years old.

The appearance of more than 30 female athletes contributed to the diversity of the tournament.
In addition to male athletes, this year the tournament has more than 30 female players competing in women's singles and mixed doubles in all 3 age groups, contributing to the diversity of the tournament.
The tournament is a playground for "young tennis players" to exchange, learn experience and practice skills.
“Veteran” Nguyen Hong Duc (72 years old, Voi Club - Ky Anh) said: “This is a meaningful playground for amateur table tennis athletes. I have participated in many tournaments but this is a very grand and large-scale tournament. The athletes all have very good techniques, many matches have very high professional quality. The tournament attracts a large audience to watch and cheer for the clubs. I am very happy to participate in this tournament”.
Dong Ray Table Tennis Club excellently won first prize overall.
In addition to the table tennis clubs with a long history of achievements such as Thanh Dong, Huong Son, La Son, Provincial Police... this year's tournament recorded the strong rise of many clubs such as Dong Ray (first place overall), Agribank Ha Tinh Club (gold medal in men's singles under 35 years old, bronze medal in team)...
This tournament recorded a record number of athletes and clubs participating. Thanks to good preparation and the enthusiastic support of sponsors, the tournament ended successfully.
The competitions were held safely and professionally. The referees conducted the competitions fairly and accurately, contributing to creating conditions for the athletes to compete at their best.
