On January 9, markspersons Pham Quang Huy and Trinh Thu Vinh won a gold medal in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. However, this does not count as an Olympic qualifier.
Earlier, Vinh won a slot at the Olympics as she achieved a high result at the 53rd ISSF World Shooting Championships in Azerbaijan in August 2023.
Cyclist Nguyen Thi That and swimmer Nguyen Huy Hoang also grabbed berths at the summer games in Paris.
