VietNamNet Bridge – Asian Games silver medalist Nguyen Thi Hoai Thu will return to the national team to take part in the 26th Southeast Asian Games taekwondo event in Indonesia in November.


It will be the last tournament for the 26-year-old Hanoian policewoman who works as a professional trainer.


Thu has just recovered from the injury she received at the Guangzhou's Asian Games last November and will have about five weeks of working out to defend her under-53kg title.


This will include a one-month intensive training session with the national taekwondo team in Beijing from October 10.


Five of the 24-member team will take part in the poomsae (performance) event, the rest in the combat sections.


At the Games in Laos two years ago, Viet Nam pocketed five gold, four silver and two bronze medals.
