Vietnam’s athletics team are preparing to contest 16 events at the 20th Asian Games, with competition scheduled for September 23–29. A preview from the national sports authority identified the men’s and women’s 4x400 m relays among Vietnam’s medal hopes.

Both relay squads have won Asian titles, providing encouragement ahead of the Games. Nguyễn Thị Oanh is also preparing for her third consecutive Asian Games appearance. Those earlier achievements provide background to the preparations and are not athletics medal results from the 20th Asian Games.
