Background The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.
As Vietnam did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified. The Vietnam Athletics Federation selected middle-distance runner Nguyễn Thị Oanh who held a personal best of 4:13.88 at the time of her selection for the Championships. Results
