(HBO) - In 2021, Hoa Binh sports won 29 medals (8 gold medals, 4 silver medals, 17 bronze medals) when competing in 9 regional and national sports tournaments. To achieve these achievements, in addition to some typical athletes who have maintained their achievements over the years such as Dinh Van Linh, Bui Van Nhat, Bui Van Hieu (bicycle), there are also other young talents such as Ha Thi Hang (karate), Nguyen Trung Hieu (taekwondo), Bui Van Hiep, Quach Truong Sang, Bui Thi Phuong (weightlifting)...

Bui Van Nhat is one of the three athletes from the province participating in training for the national mountain bicycle team to prepare for the 31st SEA Games.

Mr. Nguyen Nghia Hung, the Vice principle of the Provincial School for the Gifted, Training and Sports Competition says: "Last year, the school made great efforts to overcome difficulties caused by the impact of Covid-19 epidemics. In addition to performing the professional duties, we had to maintain the training and education, strengthen a number of measures to prevent and control the epidemics while ensuring the school subjects of the gifted students.”

In 2022, there is a major sporting event that cannot be ignored, it is the Southeast Asian Games in 2021 (SEA Games 31). Recently, in the afternoon of January 14th, the delegation of the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, led by the Deputy Director General, Ms. Le Thi Hoang Yen, surveyed and worked in the province - the locality hosting the cycling event in the program of SEA Games 31. According to the assessment, the road bike race track basically meets the quality and ensures the construction progress; The mountain bike track is being upgraded and repaired, the construction unit urgently executes the items of which the ground has been handed over, and they have asked for the construction extension to the end of March 2022, ensuring the progress of putting the project into use. In addition, the system of the functional rooms in accordance with the regulations of the Organizing Committee is also being urgently completed. According to Decision No. 1348/QD-TCTDTT of the General Department of Sports and physical Training on training the national mountain bicycle team at the Hanoi National Sports Training Center in 2022, in order to prepare the forces for the 31st SEA Games, the province has one coach, Mr. Tran Dai Nghia and 3 athletes, Dinh Van Linh, Bui Van Nhat and Bui Van Hieu. Thereby, it contributes to the promotion and introduction of the province's tourism, the economic and cultural potentials and an opportunity to affirm the position of sports in the province.

The year of 2022 is also an important year for the sports employees in the whole province: organizing the Sports Congress at all levels and competing in the 7th Provincial Sports Congress in 2022; improving the rankings at the National Sports Festival. However, the organization of the grassroots sports congress so far has not been able to follow the plan. Over the past time, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has always paid attention and created conditions for the officials and the civil servants to participate in training courses to improve their professional qualifications and skills in sport and physical activities. In 2021, there were 3 training courses to foster the sports and physical skills and the organization of the 7th Provincial Sports Congress in 2022 for the cultural officials in the communes, the wards and the townships; 10 out of the 10 districts and the city opened the training courses to foster the professional skills for the instructors, the sports collaborators, the district officials of the communes, the wards and the townships.

In 2022, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism sets the specific tasks: Successfully organizing the Sports Congress at all levels, the 7th Provincial Sports Congress in 2022 and attending the 9th National Sports Festival in 2022; coordinating to well prepare the conditions for hosting the successful and safe organization of cycling in the program of SEA Games 31 and the 9th National Sports Festival in 2022; trying to win 3 gold medals, 1 silver medal, 2 bronze medals, ranking 45 out of the 65 provinces, cities and branches; being in top 10 out of the 19 mountainous provinces, having 4 grandmaster athletes, 6 level I athletes; trying to get 35.1% of the population who regularly practice sports and physical training; the number of the sports households reach 26.4% of the total number of households… To successfully complete the set tasks, it requires the determination and the efforts from the sports employees at all levels, the team of coaches, athletes with the consensus and the joint efforts of the People.
