Tien Minh returns to world 21st position

After falling to 25th position in the world rankings, Vietnamese badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh has recently returned to his familiar 21st.

Yet, if Tien Minh doesn’t play well at the Open Vietnam Grand Prix tournament in early December in HCM City, the player may fall again in the world rankings.

Tien Minh is now in Singapore to practice with the national team and he will return home in late November.

HCM City won 224 gold, 104 silver and 39 bronze medals to protect its championship at the National Sports and Physical Training Games for the Disabled 2008, which closed in HCM City on Saturday.

Next year, disabled Vietnamese athletes will participate in many international events, including the Asia Young Tournament 2009 in Japan and the fifth Para Games in Malaysia, along with the National Sports and Physical Games for the Disabled 2009 in the central province of Quang Tri.

The National Sports Tournament for the Disabled opened last Thursday in HCM City. Some 593 sportsmen from 24 teams participated in athletics, table-tennis, tennis, chess, badminton and weight-lifting competitions.
