ParalympicsHÀ NỘI Vietnamese athletes with disabilities are working hard to get ready for the 2024 Paris Paralympics, scheduled to take place from August 28 to September 8 in France. "The goal of Vietnamese athletes with disabilities is to secure approximately eight slots (both official tickets and wild cards) to participate in the Paralympics," said Anh. Trần Đức Thọ, the general secretary of the Việt Nam Paralympic Committee, said that Việt Nam is hoping for a medal in Paris, with powerlifter Công offering up the best chance. At the recently concluded World Para Powerlifting Organisation's Pattaya World Cup 2024 in Thailand, on May 11, Công, the world record holder, secured two gold medals in the men's 49kg category. Công's impressive performance is now a light ahead for Vietnamese athletes with disabilities on their journey to the Paralympics.
