HÀ NỘI — Đinh Thị Như Quỳnh is expected to win a medal at the Asian Mountain Bike Championship in Malaysia on May 8-12.
The tournament includes different categories of XCO (cross-country Olympic), XCR (cross-country team relay), cross-country eliminator (XCE) and downhill (DHI) for the men’s and women’s elite, U23 and junior participants.
Quỳnh is one of seven Vietnamese cyclists who arrived in Putrajaya on May 6 to check the route and familiarise herself with the terrain and weather conditions.
Quỳnh is the national No 1 in the cross-country event and winner of the 31st SEA Games in 2022.
The Asian championship, which will see athletes from 30 countries compete, is a key competition for the riders to test out skills after training and preparations for the 33rd SEA Games next year.
After the mountain bike competition, Vietnamese cyclists will also compete in the Asian Road Cycling Championships on June 5-12 in Kazakhstan. VNS
