Dieu Khanh excellently won gold medal at Southeast Asian table tennis tournament

(Dan Tri) - Nguyen Khoa Dieu Khanh excellently helped the Vietnamese table tennis team win the prestigious gold medal in the women's singles event at the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship held in Thailand.

The 2024 Southeast Asian Table Tennis Championship held in Bangkok (Thailand) has just gone through nearly a week of exciting and dramatic competition and ended on the afternoon of November 24. This is a tournament that brings together all the strong table tennis teams in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam... to compete in 7 events including men's team, women's team, men's doubles, women's doubles, men's doubles, men's singles and women's singles.

Notably, in the men's and women's team events, the Vietnamese table tennis team did not perform well, having been eliminated early in the group stage. However, in the following events, the Vietnamese table tennis team performed brilliantly, even reaching the finals in 4 events to compete for the gold medal, which were the men's doubles, women's doubles, men's singles and women's singles. All 4 events took place on November 24 and the Vietnamese table tennis team as well as fans expected the "golden rain" to come to the hands of coach Doan Kien Quoc and his team. However, in the 4 events, only player Nguyen Khoa Dieu Khanh excelled in bringing home the gold medal for the Vietnamese table tennis team when he defeated Tel Ai Xin (Singapore) in the final match with a score of 4-0. This is also the only gold medal that the Vietnamese table tennis team won at the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship. In the remaining finals, the pair Mai Hoang My Trang and Nguyen Thi Nga lost to the Malaysian pair and only won the Silver Medal (HCB) in the women's doubles event. The situation was similar when the pair Nguyen Duc Tuan and Doan Ba Tuan Anh also lost to the Malaysian pair in the men's doubles final. The Malaysian table tennis team is truly Vietnam's nemesis when in the remaining men's singles final, Vietnam's number one player, Nguyen Anh Tu, also lost narrowly to Malaysian player, Choang Javen with a close score of 3-4. In the end, at the 2024 Southeast Asian Table Tennis Championship, the Vietnamese team still completed the target when winning 1 gold medal, 3 silver medals and 2 bronze medals. This is the motivation for the Vietnamese table tennis team to continue striving to achieve more high achievements at the upcoming 2025 SEA Games.
