Throughout the competition, the Vietnamese shooting team eagerly looked forward to securing additional gold medals in the men's 10m air pistol event and experienced a sense of satisfaction. Surprisingly, the victor in the individual shooting event was not Pham Quang Huy, the previous gold medalist at the 19th Asian Games, but rather Lai Cong Minh.
After the qualifying round for the men's 10m air pistol event, among the eight finalists, Vietnam's shooting team was represented by Pham Quang Huy, Lai Cong Minh, and Phan Cong Minh.

Despite his notable achievement, Pham Quang Huy did not receive a medal due to the regulations specifying that medals are granted only to shooters with the best performance in the leading group of each nation during the final round of each shooting event. Each country is limited to having only one shooter receive a medal (in the top three positions).
The champion in the men's 10m air pistol individual event was the shooter Lai Cong Minh, who scored 241.8 points. The silver medalist in the individual event was Faroukh Umar Fareed from Malaysia, with 234.9 points, and the bronze medalist was Hsieh Hsiang Chen from Chinese Taipei, with 195 points.
