Miss Phuc finished the race at the National Stadium in Singapore in 1hr, 42minures, 35 seconds, surpassing other competitors but not quite enough to book a spot in next year’s Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
“I’m so happy to get a good result,” said Miss Phuc. “I am grateful to all those who have had my back. Their support gave me strength and I was able to stay strong right until the end.”
Miss Phuc said she looks forward to having another opportunity to book a spot at the Rio Olympics this coming June.
