Three Vietnamese weightlifters have won two silvers and one bronze in the 2006 World Disabled Weightlifting Cup, securing three spots in the final round of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games.
Silver medalists were Hoang Tuyet Loan (48 kg) and Dang Anh Tuyet (40 kg), while Dinh Thi Nga won the bronze medal in the 52 kg category.
The winners are likely to qualify for the final round of the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, as the International Weightlifting Federation will evaluate their results in the 2006 Championship to determine their qualification for the 2008 Paralympics.
The Vietnam Sports Association for the Disabled and the National Sports Committee are expected to send more competitors to tournaments of various sports such as athletics, ping-pong and swimming, with a view to selecting qualified athletes for the 2008 Paralympics.
