Running below her strength, Nguyen Thi Huyen ranked 5th in the 400m hurdles event in Asian athletics.

Expected to be in the top three, and even compete for the gold medal in the women's 400m hurdles at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships, "mother of one" Nguyen Thi Huyen did not compete as expected.

In the final of the women's 400m hurdles event held today, Nguyen Thi Huyen finished 5th with a time of 58 seconds 36. This result is far behind the 56 seconds 29 that brought her the gold medal at the 32nd SEA Games last May in Cambodia.

Unfortunately for Nguyen Thi Huyen, the first person to cross the finish line and win the Asian gold medal this time was athlete Lauren Brown Robyn (Philippines). This was Nguyen Thi Huyen's defeat at the 32nd SEA Games and this time she came in first place with an unimpressive result of 57 seconds 50.
