Vietnam added no medals on September 26 at the 2026 Asian Games despite competing in athletics and canoeing finals, VietnamPlus reported. Nguyễn Thùy Linh exited the women's singles badminton event in the round of 16; Hồ Trọng Mạnh Hùng finished eighth in the men's triple jump final, while the canoeing finals covered in the report also produced no medal.
There were still athletes advancing: Lê Thị Cẩm Tú progressed in the women's 200 metres, and Vũ Lê Thiên Hải reached the men's kayak single 500 m final. After September 26, Vietnam's overall tally remained one gold, one silver and 16 bronze medals. “No additional medal” refers to that day alone, not the entire Games.
