Not everyone knows that Đạt Elly's mother did this while watching her son compete in the final match of Speed Chess.
Ms. Hai, the mother of the Speed Chess national team player Đỗ Thành Đạt (Elly), is known as a solid 'rear support' not only emotionally but also supportive of her son's passion from the very beginning.
I remember the first time Elly took his mother to watch a tournament he participated in was in May 2020. At that time, Hai shared with the media that she had watched many matches repeatedly, listened to the commentators' analysis to understand more about the Esports that her son pursued. Since then, whether watching live or online, Elly's mother seems to have never missed any of her son's matches.
Especially during major events, Elly doesn't hesitate to invite his mother to watch, considering it a great source of encouragement. Therefore, in the Speed Chess final at SEA Games 31 recently, the presence of Ms. Hai and the encouraging spirit that this parent brought was timely, adding more strength and confidence to Elly.
Also here, Elly's mother had the opportunity to celebrate with hundreds of spectators live after the victory of the male national team player. However, not many people know that, prior to this, Ms. Hai had 'silently' carried out a series of actions hoping that Elly and his teammates could secure the Gold Medal.
Beside the moments of focused attention during the match, Ms. Hai 'prayed' for the host country's representatives. According to images from the 'hidden camera,' the mother of the young national team player frowned at moments of incomplete handling or stood up to cheer for Vietnam when there were exciting situations, putting pressure on the opponents in the game.
Mother Elly and actions before and after her son won 'gold'.
After Elly and his teammates officially obtained the first Gold Medal, Ms. Hai immediately took out her phone to livestream and share the current atmosphere, celebrating with the fans, contrasting sharply with her focused demeanor throughout the match. She said this was an honor not everyone had and also preserved as a beautiful memory for years to come on this day.
