HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese swimmers will take part in the World Swimming Championship next week in Japan.

Ten athletes, including national champions, left for Fukuoka on July 19 to take part in several days of warm-ups for the tournament which will be held from July 23 to July 30.

They qualified for the world event after reaching standards through different competitions earlier this year.

Among them Phạm Thanh Bảo, Trần Hưng Nguyên, Hoàng Quý Phước, Nguyễn Hữu Kim Sơn and Nguyễn Quang Thuấn pocketed medals from the recent 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia.

They are accompanied by young swimmers such as Mai Trần Tuấn Anh, Hồ Nguyễn Duy Khoa, Đỗ Ngọc Vinh and Võ Thị Mỹ Tiên.

Due to the large gap between Vietnamese and international competitors, the world championship is considered a learning experience for Vietnamese swimmers.

It is also a practice for them ahead of September's 18th Asian Games in China. VNS
