The tournament, organized from January 5-18, is considered a qualifying round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with only individual events taken into account to get tickets to the Games.

On January 8, shooter Pham Quang Huy competed unsuccessfully in the men's 10m air pistol event. Therefore, he still could not get a ticket to the Games and must pin hope on the next qualifying round of the 2024 NRA World Shooting Championship scheduled to take place in April.

His teammate Trinh Thu Vinh has already won a ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games following her excellent performance at the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championship 2024 which is being held in Indonesia from January 7-17.

The coaching staff said on January 10 that by gaining 125.9 points in the finale and ranking fourth in the women's 10-metre air pistol event, Tuyen was qualified to attend the Olympics.

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.
