A training course run by Achim Ecke from the German National Olympic Committee in a bid to meet international coaching standards is taking place at the National Sports Traning Centre in Hanoi until December 13.

“Support from international organizations, such as the German committee, helps Vietnamese track and field develop rapidly and will allow us to achieve high results in international tournaments, said VAF General Secretary Hoang Manh Cuong.”
On behalf of the committee, Ecke handed over some sports equipment to VAF representatives. It is the elite trainer’s second time training local coaches in Vietnam, following a spell in 2006.
