Background
[edit]The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre.[1] To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.[2]
As Vietnam did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[2][3] The Vietnam Athletics Federation selected middle-distance runner Nguyễn Thị Oanh who held a personal best of 4:13.88 at the time of her selection for the Championships.[4]
