General Interest

Vietnam sent a contingent of 22 athletes to compete in 10 sports at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The NOC had its most successful Games to date in Brazil due to the performance of shooter Hoang Xuan Vinh. He won Vietnam's first Olympic gold medal in the men's 10m air pistol and followed that with a silver in the men's 50m pistol. Hoang previously competed at the 2012 Games in London, narrowly missing the podium by one place in the men's 50m pistol.

Vietnam's four Olympic medals were all won since 2000. The first was claimed by Ngan Tran Hieu in her one and only Olympic appearance. She took silver in the taekwondo women's featherweight division in Sydney. Eight years later at the Beijing 2008 Games, Hoang Anh Tuan lifted a total of 290kg in the men's 56kg weightlifting division to take silver.
