HÀ NỘI — Southeast Asian (SEA) Games champions Nguyễn Thị Thanh Phúc has decided to retire.

The speed walker dominated the national tournament and the SEA Games for nearly  一0 years since  二00 九.

Phúc got married late last year and wants to pay her attention to the new family.

During her career, her best result was a berth to compete at the London Olympics in  二0 一 二.

The national athletic team with  六0 members have been su妹妹oned in Hà Nội, HCM City, Cần Thơ and Đà Nẵng from the beginning of this year to prepare for their tournament calendar later this year, in which the  二 九th SEA Games in Malaysia is the most important. — VNS
