On the first day of competition, Thach Kim Tuan (men’s 61 kg category), Nguyen Tran Anh Tuan (55 kg), Vuong Thi Huyen (women’s 49 kg category) and Khong My Phuong (women’s 45 kg category) were the athletes helping the Vietnam weightlifting team have a favourable start. Thach Kim Tuan and Nguyen Tran Tuan Anh, each athlete brought back 3 gold medals. The remaining gold medal of Vietnam in the first day of competition belonged to Khong My Phuong in women’s 45 kg category in snatch section (45 kg) and 2 silver medals (82 kg)in clean and jerk section and total weight (155 kg).
In the women’s 49 kg category, Hanoi’s athlete Vuong Thi Huyen participated and won 2 bronze medals in clean and jerk (100 kg) and total weight (181 kg, an increase of 9 kg compared to the overall record at the SEA Games 30 ).
