Nguyen Thi Oanh wins miracle double gold in 30 minutes

Despite facing an arduous challenge due to schedule change, Nguyen Thi Oanh did a miracle run to win goal medals in the 1,500 m run and 3,000 m hurdles in just 30 minutes. Oanh is currently the best middle-distance runner in Southeast Asia. She attended the first SEA Games in 2013 and won a silver medal in the 3,000 m hurdles. She has dominated this event for the last three SEA Games editions.

Oanh (number 561) was in a difficult situation when SEA Games 32 organizers suddenly put the 1,500 m run (scheduled to take place on Thursday) right before the 3,000 m hurdles on Tuesday, which gave her just 20 minutes to change and take a breath between the two events.

Facing the risk of injury and failure in both events with such a short break but Oanh still decided not to give up.

The 1,500 m run, which started at 5:30 p.m., is the event that Oanh had won gold in the last three SEA Games editions. After 800 m, she began to accelerate and break away from her opponents.

In the last 400 m, the 28-year-old runner left her competitors nearly 100 m behind and finished the run in 4 minutes and 16.85 seconds. This is not Oanh’s best personal result, but it could be within her calculation, in order to save stamina for the 3,000 m hurdles 20 minutes later.

When competitors sat and even laid on the piste because they were tired, Oanh did not have time to rest.

The Vietnamese runner stopped to take a breath for a minute and then went straight into the technical area to prepare for the 3,000m hurdles at 5:50 p.m.

Without taking a break, Oanh was told that she has to be at the track for the next run. In addition, she was also asked to go for a doping test, but the runner said she would do it after the run.

In the 3,000 m hurdles, Oanh competed with three competitors - teammate Nguyen Thi Huong and two runners from Philippines.

Oanh was right behind Joida Gagnao (number 487) for the first 2,600 m. She showed incredible endurance compared to those who did not compete in the 1,500 m run before that.
