Becoming the first Vietnamese player to win the world championship of the 3-cushion carom billiards tournament, Bao Phuong Vinh is now the pride of Binh Duong. The player from Tan Phuoc Khanh, Tan Uyen city is also enjoying his best days after the glory that he had gained by his greatest endeavours.
Provincial leaders always care and create conditions for talents like Bao Phuong Vinh to feel secure in competing, contributing and bringing glory to Binh Duong as well as Vietnam.
After winning the world championship on the evening of September 10, player Bao Phuong Vinh dominated the headlines. For Bao Phuong Vinh, meetings, interviews, and sharing about the past glorious journey are the happiest days of his career so that the Binh Duong player felt the admiration and affection of fans, professionals, and businesses that have been accompanying him throughout the past time.
Bao Phuong Vinh's feelings are easy to understand at the peak of fame where a professional athlete must sacrifice a lot. Bao Phuong Vinh temporarily put aside his business when he had a master's degree in economics and applied econometrics to live and satisfy his passion. Every success bears in its efforts and yields. To receive the commission, Bao Phuong Vinh also went through great hardships and difficult times. But then, his own efforts, the encouragement of his family and the leaders of the province's culture, sports and tourism sector helped him overcome everything to achieve success.
Now that he is a world champion, Bao Phuong Vinh is still very honest and humble to just smile when asked about himself with simple answer: "I am in my happy days." The world champion at the ceremony to honor coaches and athletes with outstanding achievements at the 2023 World Championship 3-cushion carom billiards tournament organized by the Vietnam Billiards & Snooker Federation uttered his humble voice. Bao Phuong Vinh also shared that his dream after winning the world championship is to return home and visit the teacher who taught him his first moves. But because he was so busy, the teacher and student only met for a few minutes and then he had to travel to compete, not having time to take a commemorative photo with the teacher.
At the honor ceremony, the provincial leaders gave great words of encouragement to Bao Phuong Vinh and directed the province's sports sector to pay more attention to the talents who have made Binh Duong sports famous like Bao Phuong Vinh. It is known that as soon as possible, the province will award a certificate of merit and prize in money to player Bao Phuong Vinh - the world 3-cushion carom billiards champion in 2023.
