Pre-Final Livestream: Road to Olympia Season 25

This livestream serves as a special pre-competition event for the final year of the 25th season of "Đường lên đỉnh Olympia." It aims to connect viewers with the four outstanding finalists and create a relaxed atmosphere before the crucial match. The event features journalist Trương Anh Ngọc and Hà Việt Hoàng, who have previously participated in similar roles, acting as "wisdom keepers" to help the contestants feel comfortable and confident, akin to pre-match preparations for a World Cup.

1. Introduction of the Finalists and "Icebreaker" Session

The livestream begins with the introduction of the four finalists, who are asked to briefly introduce themselves:

• Nguyễn Nhật Lam: 11th grader, Class 12A1, Cái Bè High School, Đồng Tháp province.
• Lê Quang Duy Khoa: 12th grader, Class 12A2, Huế High School for the Gifted, Huế city.
• Trần Bùi Bảo Khánh: 12th grader, Class 12 Sinh, Hà Nội Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, Hanoi.
• Đoàn Thanh Tùng: 12th grader, Class 12 Sinh, Lê Quý Đôn High School for the Gifted, Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa province.

The first segment is an "icebreaker" where contestants share their experiences in Hanoi and whether they have experienced Hanoi's autumn.

• Nguyễn Nhật Lam: This is his fourth time in Hanoi for the competition (weekly, monthly, quarterly, and now the final). It's his first time experiencing Hanoi's autumn, finding it a bit cold compared to his hometown but enjoyable.
• Lê Quang Duy Khoa: This is his third time in Hanoi. His previous visits were for the weekly and quarterly competitions. This time, he gets to experience Hanoi's autumn for the first time. He notes that Hanoi's autumn is pleasant with less rain and moderate temperatures, unlike Huế.
• Đoàn Thanh Tùng: This is his third visit to Hanoi. It's his first time experiencing Hanoi's autumn cold, which he finds enjoyable as a "child of the sea" and believes it will complement the "heat" of the final competition.
• Trần Bùi Bảo Khánh: As the "home contestant," he hasn't had much time to show his friends around due to their tight schedules. He reveals he has prepared a small gift for his fellow contestants, hinting it's something that encapsulates Hanoi's autumn. The gift is later revealed to be "cốm" (young green rice flakes), a traditional Hanoi delicacy.

2. Personal Interests and Aspirations

The conversation shifts to the contestants' personal interests and dreams:

• Lê Quang Duy Khoa: A self-proclaimed football fan, he enjoys watching "beautiful football" and started following the sport around the 2014 World Cup. He watches football neutrally now, appreciating good play rather than specific teams.
• Đoàn Thanh Tùng: His aspiration is to become a doctor. While he's not yet certain about his specialization, he is drawn to the medical field for its contribution to people's health and hopes to pursue it long-term. He acknowledges that medicine is a demanding and lengthy career.
• Trần Bùi Bảo Khánh & Nguyễn Nhật Lam: Both share a love for music. Bảo Khánh is a fan of Trịnh Công Sơn's music, while Nhật Lam is a fan of Sơn Tùng MTP.

To further break the ice and boost morale, the contestants are asked to sing the traditional "Đường lên đỉnh núi" (The Road to the Mountain Peak) song, the anthem of the show.

3. Messages to Supporters and Hometowns

Each finalist is given an opportunity to send a brief message to their supporters back home:

• Đoàn Thanh Tùng (Khánh Hòa): He hopes the "flame of Olympia" will warm his supporters in Nha Trang, which is experiencing heavy rain, and asks them to accompany him on this journey.
• Trần Bùi Bảo Khánh (Hanoi): He expresses deep gratitude to everyone who has dedicated time to practice and support him at the Hoàng Thành Thăng Long (Imperial Citadel of Thang Long) broadcast point and promises to do his best to reciprocate their encouragement.
• Lê Quang Duy Khoa (Huế): He sincerely thanks his supporters in Huế for their continuous practice and support, hoping to perform well in the upcoming final to not disappoint them.
• Nguyễn Nhật Lam (Đồng Tháp): He thanks everyone for their precious time in rehearsals and for their presence at the broadcast point and on screen. He pledges to try his best to meet their expectations.

A common theme among their messages is their commitment to performing well to honor the expectations of their supporters.

4. Broadcast Point Highlights and Sponsor Acknowledgment

The livestream then transitions to showcasing the vibrant atmosphere at the various broadcast points:
