VietNamNet Bridge - After 15 days in the hospital due to a traffic accident, the queen of athletics Truong Thanh Hang left the hospital on the afternoon of September 14.
    

According to Thanh Hang, the incision is stable now, the wounds begin to heal, but she has not been able to walk a lot yet. Hang began practicing basic movement exercises.

"This is the worst time for me. I now only pray the God to help me quickly recover to practice again," Thanh Hang said.

During her time in the hospital, the track and field star received the encouragement and sharing of her family, friends and fans. Especially, German expert Gunter Lange, who used to work with Truong Thanh Hang in 2011 and drove her to the Asian gold medal for the women’s 800m running in Kobe, Japan, had contact with coach Ho Thi Tu Tam to know about Hang’s situation.

Mr. Gunter Lange said that he would come to Vietnam and find physiotherapies to help Thanh Hang properly restore.

In the experience of post-traumatic rehabilitation of international athletes, Thanh Hang could soon set back to the underwater exercises to gradually regain stamina for her legs.

A family member of Truong Thanh Hang said: "If the wound recovers well, our family will advocate Thanh Hang to try to practice as an athlete for a while then will begin to turn to training activities."

Truong Thanh Hang is the most outstanding track-and-field athlete of Vietnam when she dominated the distance of 800m and 1500m in the Southeast Asian arena from 2005 to 2011 with eight gold medals.

In addition, Thanh Hang won two silver medals at the 2010 Asian Games and is the only athlete of Vietnam who won the Asian gold medals twice.

Previously, on the morning of August 31, while running with her teammate on Nguyen Tat Thanh Road, in Da Nang, the Vietnamese athletics queen was hit by a motorcycle running from behind. Her right leg was broken and she got other injuries all over her body.
