Southeast Asian Games: Great Expectations

Cambodia is gearing up to host next year’s 32nd edition of the Southeast Asian Games.

Athletes and trainers in the country are upbeat about the biennial sports event which will be held from May 5 to 16, in Phnom Penh.

Some Cambodian people are expected from the event.

Heang Ratana, I am excited even though I cannot join the game. I strongly believe the Cambodia team will get medals for the country because they are training rigorously every day.

Pan Khemra, I am really excited because Cambodia is hosting Asian Games 2023. I am obliged to create outstanding athletes who can attend the upcoming games. Besides Taekwondo, there are many items such as Kun Khmer, finswimming, and especially petanque for our athletes to win big.

Lav Chea, Even though our country is small we are going to run a big event like Asian Games. I feel so proud about that. I have faith in our athletes and hope they will win a lot of medals for our nation. There are many sports items in which our athletes can shine, such as Kun Khmer, taekwondo, vovinam, soft tennis, and finswimming. But I feel they can also do well in badminton.
