Our Lionhearts returned from the U15 FOBISIA Sports Games after four action-packed days that highlighted their resilience, teamwork, and talent across athletics, swimming, football and basketball. Here is a look back at their memorable journey.
Day 1: Strong starts in athletics and swimming
The competition opened with an inspiring morning on the athletics track.
In the track events, the Girls’ 4x100m Relay Team with Leeel and Haeun earned a brilliant Bronze medal. In the 800m, Haesol won Silver and Qian collected Bronze, while Gia Huy showed excellent stamina to take Silver in the 1500m.
The field events brought even more success. Bao Nam claimed Gold in Triple Jump and Xuan Phuc secured Gold in Shot Put. Gia Huy added a Silver in Javelin, while Jinwoo earned a Bronze in Long Jump and Kaeden contributed a Bronze in Discus.
The momentum continued in the pool during the afternoon session. The Boys’ Medley Relay team of Caleb, Ruda, Kaeden and Bao Nam stormed to Gold. Two more Medley and Freestyle relay teams featuring swimmers such as Xuan Phuc, Haesol, Duc Anh and Kaeden added Bronze medals.
Individually, swimmers shone across all strokes. Xuan Phuc took Gold in the 25m Breaststroke. Leeel earned three Bronzes, while Haesol won two Silvers. Nam Khanh collected a Silver and a Bronze. More medals came from Seongwoo with a Silver and from Bao Nam, Jinwoo and Caleb, who all earned Bronze finishes. It was an outstanding start for the whole team.
Day 2: A thrilling day of football
The girls played with courage and determination throughout a very competitive group stage. Their 3–2 win over ISB, with goals from Haeun and Leeel, secured a place in the Bronze Medal Match. They finished 4th after a close 1–0 loss and should be proud of their performances.
The boys showed great spirit across a demanding series of matches. Their 3–0 win against KTJ featured two goals from Haesol and one from Xuan Phuc. In the Bronze Medal Match, the team pushed hard with goals from Haesol and David. Both David and Dingseok came close to equalising before the final whistle, and the boys finished 4th after a thrilling game.
Day 3: Basketball and final wrap-up
The girls played confidently throughout the day and demonstrated how much they had grown as a team. They finished in a very respectable 5th place.
The boys fought through a tough schedule and produced a powerful 21–7 win that carried them into the Bronze Medal Match. They battled hard until the last moments before finishing 4th in a close and exciting contest.
Throughout all three days, our students showed teamwork, determination and true Lionheart spirit. We are incredibly proud of every athlete and the way they represented BIS Hanoi at this year’s FOBISIA Games.
