The female shooter explained that she called her parents right after the competition and that she cried because of regret and sadness, so when she heard the reporter's question, she could not hold back her tears. Thu Vinh knew very well how much was expected of her in the two final events that she participated in at the Olympics for the first time in her life, so when she could not win a medal in both finals, Thu Vinh felt both sad and extremely guilty. Through the reporter, Thu Vinh sent an apology to fans nationwide. However, there will certainly be no blame for Thu Vinh, because at the age of 24 and participating in her first Olympics, winning the right to be present in the finals of both events at the Olympics is a very proud achievement. Thu Vinh's opponents all have extremely impressive achievements such as world champion, Olympic champion, continental champion or being in the top 10, or top 5 or top 3 in the world. Therefore, it is completely normal that she cannot surpass them. In addition, due to excessive training to prepare for the second competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 25m sport pistol, after narrowly missing the medal in the 10m air pistol , Thu Vinh suffered a serious injury to her right shoulder. Right before the day of the final round, the coaching staff of the Vietnamese shooting team had to help Thu Vinh treat the injury, but still could not help her fully recover. Thu Vinh is still full of determination when looking forward to the road ahead. She confided: “I don’t think that being able to participate in two finals at my first Olympics is a commendable achievement for me personally, because if I thought like that and was satisfied with my results, I wouldn’t be able to improve anymore.”
