This is Duong's second time participating in the Microsoft Office championship. He competed in the 2021 season as a high-school senior and won second place nationally in the Microsoft Word 2016 category.
In addition to Nguyen Minh Duong's individual achievement, all five members of the Vietnamese MOS team made it to the top 10 highest-scoring contestants in each category at the 2024 world finals.
The other bronze medal went to Mai Ngoc Linh, an 11th-grade student at Chu Van An High School (Hanoi) as she competed in the Adobe Certified Professional World Championship (ACPWC 2024).
