The athletics team also entered the competition with hopes of success, particularly in the mixed 4x400m relay, featuring athletes Nguyen Thi Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Hang, Quach Thi Lan, and others. Additionally, Vietnam's track and field athletes were set to compete in the women's triple jump and women's 10,000m finals.
