ASEAN ParaGames winner Nguyễn Bình An qualifies for Paris Paralympics.

Công, who recently won two golds at the Pattaya World Cup, will try to win back his top position in the men's 49kg category.

An will fight to be in top three of the men's 54kg and Loan will target a medal in the women's 55kg.

ParaGames champion Châu Hoàng Tuyết Loan will take part in her sixth Paralympics this summer.

Previously, swimmers Lê Tiến Đạt and Đỗ Thanh Hải and runner Phạm Nguyễn Khánh Minh took their spots.

Việt Nam expect to have more competitors to Paris in athletics as multi-time SEA Games champion in javelin, discus and shot-put Nguyễn Thị Hải is one of athletes to receive wildcards.

At the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021, Việt Nam earned only one silver silver medal by powerlifter Công. VNS
