Meanwhile, the Vietnamese diving team consists of 12 members, including three coaches and nine athletes.
Diving’s eight events are scheduled for May 6-11 at My Dinh Water Sports Center. Diving and handball are the only two sports whose competitions will commence and finish before the opening ceremony of the SEA Games, set to be held on May 12. 
With less than a month to prepare, Vietnam’s diving team has set itself a modest target: to make no mistakes at the 31st SEA Games, according to Truong Anh Tai, head coach of the diving team.
  1. His medal hopefuls include Nguyen Tung Duong, who finished fourth in men’s three-meter springboard at the 2019 SEA Games, and Ngo Phuong Mai (right in the photo), the bronze medal winner in women’s three-meter springboard at the same event.
However, Mai has not honed her skills through overseas training or international competitions in the last two years due to Covid-19.
Despite being the host of the 31st SEA Games, Vietnam is considered a weak side in regional diving, while Malaysia is the top contender for gold medals this year.
