Amidst the dazzling glory of the gold medals at the 33rd SEA Games , the story of the three Nguyen sisters is not only an unprecedented sporting miracle, but also a tearful epic about fatherly love.

An unprecedented feat on the mat.

At the 33rd SEA Games, the wrestling arena witnessed an unprecedented historical milestone in the annals of Vietnamese sports. On the same day of competition, three sisters: Nguyen Thi My Hanh, Nguyen Thi My Trang, and Nguyen Thi My Linh successively stepped onto the highest podium, bringing home three precious gold medals for the national sports delegation.

The dominance of these three "heroine athletes" is demonstrated through their impressive achievements: Eldest sister My Hanh (62kg category): Affirming her unique position with a gold medal at her 4th consecutive SEA Games. My Trang (57kg category): Following in her sister's footsteps with her 3rd championship title. Youngest sister My Linh (53kg category): Causing a major surprise by winning a gold medal in her first appearance at the regional competition.

The image of the three sisters standing together at the pinnacle of glory is not only a source of pride for Vietnamese sports but also a testament to a family with a tradition of persistent training and indomitable will.

A heart-wrenching message delivered via television.

However, behind the victorious smiles on the medal podium were hearts filled with anxiety. Few knew that, before departing for Thailand to compete, the three sisters had to suppress their personal grief as their beloved father was battling a serious illness.

Immediately after the match ended, instead of boisterous celebrations, the image of the three girls standing before the television cameras, sobbing uncontrollably, touched the hearts of millions of viewers. Their cry, "Dad, we did it! Please wait for us to come home!" was not just a declaration of victory, but also a heartfelt plea, a desperate hope that their father would wait for the moment his daughters returned home with glory.

The miracle didn't happen, and the gift was filled with tears.

Despite their best efforts and the belief that their mental strength would help their father overcome the critical condition, cruel fate did not give them another chance. In the early morning of December 22nd, the father of the three "golden girls" breathed his last.

The three glorious gold medals – the fruits of sweat, tears, and sacrifice – have now become the final gift that My Hanh, My Trang, and My Linh dedicate to their father. This journey home is no longer a joyous celebration of glory, but a reunion in white mourning clothes and an immeasurable grief.

The image of the three sisters crying, laughing, and winning together will forever be one of the most touching moments in SEA Games history. They are not only champions on the mat, but also filial daughters who have written a humane ending to their journey of conquering the pinnacle.
