VOV.VN trên Google News

VOV.VN - The Vietnamese men's gymnastics team have achieved their goal of qualifying for the 20th Asian Games (ASIAD 20) in Japan with a maximum of five athletes by finishing in the top 10 of the men's team event at the 2026 Asian Gymnastics Championships in China.

The Vietnamese team, comprising seven athletes, recorded a total score of 223.361 points, earning a place at the continental showpiece and securing the maximum quota of five male gymnasts for the Games.

Under the qualification system introduced for the first time for Asian Games gymnastics competitions, the top 10 teams in both the men's and women's team events receive the full allocation of five athletes. Teams finishing outside the top 10 are awarded fewer qualification places.

The result marks a significant achievement for Vietnamese gymnastics in 2026 and provides a solid foundation for preparations ahead of the Asian Games.

Securing the maximum athlete quota gives coaches greater flexibility in team selection and increases Vietnam's chances of competing across a wider range of apparatus and all-around events at the Games.

The men's disciplines at the 2026 Asian Gymnastics Championships are taking place in China from June 18 to 21. The 2026 Asian Junior Men's Championships is being held concurrently. The women's disciplines are scheduled for June 25 to 28.

The 20th Asian Games will be held in the Japanese cities of Aichi and Nagoya from September 19 to October 4, 2026.

The continental multi-sport games will bring together Asia's top athletes, and Vietnam's gymnastics team will aim to build on their qualification success and challenge for strong results against the region's powerhouses.
