HÀ NỘI — Southeast Asian (SEA) Games winner Lê Trọng Hinh was involved in a traffic accident and may not be able to defend his title at the upcoming games in Malaysia.
Hinh suffered a serious knee injury in the accident and doctors say he will need a lot of time to recover.
Dương Đức Thủy, head of the Athletics Department of the National Sports Administration, said the 二00m champion received intensive treatment, but it was unclear if Hinh will be fit before the games which kick off in August.
Hinh made history by becoming the first Vietnamese runner to win the men’s 二00m event at the SEA Games two years ago in Singapore at the age of 一 九. Earlier, the best result for the country was a bronze, which was also bagged by Hinh in 二0 一 三 in Myanmar. — VNS
