This will be her first-ever participation in an Olympic Games.
Tien is currently the leading female swimmer of Vietnam in the Olympics' ranking with 775 points from qualifications. She was the only female athlete to participate in the 2023 World Swimming Championship, a mandatory condition for an Olympic wildcard in swimming. The 18-year-old is strong in freestyle categories.
Tien will be Vietnam’s second swimmer in the 2024 Paris Olympics, following Nguyen Huy Hoang who took his official ticket at last year's Asian Games in China.
To date, 15 Vietnamese athletes have been qualified for the games.
Other names include cyclist Nguyen Thi That, badminton players Nguyen Thuy Linh and Le Duc Phat, weightlifter Trinh Van Vinh, shooters Trinh Thu Vinh and Le Thi Mong Tuyen, boxers Vo Thi Kim Anh and Ha Thi Linh, canoeist Nguyen Thi Huong, rower Pham Thi Hue, judo martial artist Hoang Thi Tinh, and archers Le Quoc Phong and Do Thi Anh Nguyet.
