The Viet Nam flag was hoisted at the athletes village yesterday. The team, the 36th delegation to arrive for the Games, has registered 150 participants for the ASIAD demonstration at the opening ceremony with volleyball player Ngo Van Kieu carrying the national flag.
Weigh lifter Hoang Anh Tuan is expected to open the medal count for Viet Nam; his 56kg category will start and finish tomorrow.
