The Vietnamese handicapped athlete delegation to Indonesia’s Asian Para Games 2018.

 The 75-member delegation includes 52 competitors, 11 coaches and medical workers, led by Vu The Phiet, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Paralympic Association. 

The Vietnamese athletes will compete in 7 of the total 18 sports - athletics, swimming, weight-lifting, table tennis, badminton, Judo, and chess.

Mr. Phiet said: “We prepared for the games long ago, and the athletes are aiming for high results. At the previous Asian Para Games in Incheon, the Republic of Korea, in 2014, Vietnam won nine gold medals. This year, we will try to win at least the same amount of medals.”

Indonesia’s Asian Para Games 2018 is a preparatory step for Vietnam’s participation in Paralympic Tokyo 2020.
