Quach Thi Lan and his teammates have returned to the top of the forte

4 female athletes in Vietnam broke the national record (3 minutes 31 seconds 46 '), made in the Asian Athletics 2015 in Singapore.

But the most important goal is that the ticket to the Paris Olympic Games 2024, the 4 female athletes in Vietnam have not yet been achieved. Because of reaching standards, athletes must have achievements in the top 16 in the world. The last team in the top 16 is Nigeria with a achievement of up to 3 minutes 27 seconds 29.
