Hue who already won the championship of men movement for two years (2016,

the national track, Dinh Thanh Hue has brought into play their professional
skills, willpower and efforts to win the championship for the third time with
34 minutes 38 seconds. In the content of individual male teens, the athlete Xa
Thanh Son suddenly rose to the third place to win bronze medal (17 minutes 43
seconds). Xa Thanh Son's teammate, Ban Thuong An won the 4th prize.
If there were enough 3 athletes, the possibility of winning the men's team in
Hoa Binh would be possible, but unfortunately, in this content, our province
had only 2 athletes. After many years of winning the national championship of
marathon, this is the first time Hoa Binh province has won two medals (one
gold, one bronze).
