Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team also just moved to Thailand this morning, August 20. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team are in Group C with the teams of Poland, Germany and Kenya. The Vietnamese women's team is missing an important pillar, Bich Tuyen. She withdrew from the tournament because she felt that she was not treated fairly and respectfully by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
