HA NOI (VNS) — Top Vietnamese female swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien won a bronze medal at the sixth CISM Military World Games in South Korea on October 7.

It is the first time Vien has taken part in the Military Games.

Today (October 8), the southern Can Tho Province-born Vien has a day off to prepare for her next event, the 200m medley, on October 9.
Vien won seven gold medals at the eighth Asian Age Group Championships in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 4.
Viet Nam are participating in six events of shooting, boxing, swimming and judo, besides taekwondo and volleyball in this multi-sport tournament, organised every four years, one year before the Olympic Games are organised. — VNS
