Despite nearly 20 years of difficulties and challenges in the sport, Phạm Thị Kim Huệ has never felt tired of volleyball.

The 35-year-old has joined Long An as a player and a member of the coaching staff.

Swimmer Nguyễn Thị Ánh Viên has one wish for Tết – to resume her specialist training schedule in America and help her gain Olympic success.

With countries around the world asking their citizens to stay at home to fight COVID-19, the gaming and e-sports (or electronic sports) industry has taken off.
