The Week 2 - March - Quarter IV competition of the 26th season of "Road to Olympia" featured four contestants: Vu Nhat Long (Newton Secondary and High School - Hanoi ), Nguyen Le Tuan Anh (Quynh Luu 1 High School - Nghe An), Le Quang Minh Duy (Le Hong Phong Specialized High School - Ho Chi Minh City), and Nguyen Nam Khanh (Ly Tu Trong High School - Khanh Hoa).
The four contestants quickly entered the competition with lively performances. Minh Duy started with 40 points, Nam Khánh had 50 points, and Tuấn Anh had 60 points. Nhật Long temporarily held the advantage with 70 points. The gap between the positions was not too large, setting the stage for changes in rankings in the following rounds.
Entering the Obstacle Course challenge , the four contestants faced a 22-letter keyword. In the first horizontal row, all four contestants gave the correct answer: "Navy". As soon as the first puzzle piece was revealed, Minh Duy quickly pressed the buzzer to answer the obstacle. With the answer " Ho Chi Minh Trail on the Sea", the male student correctly solved the 22-letter keyword. At the end of the round, Minh Duy took the lead with 110 points. Nhat Long had 80 points, Tuan Anh had 70 points, and Nam Khanh had 60 points.
In the Acceleration round, the competition continued to shift. Nam Khánh and Nhật Long capitalized on opportunities to increase their scores, creating an incredibly exciting contest. Nam Khánh surged ahead with 180 points, just 10 points ahead of Nhật Long. Minh Duy followed closely with 150 points, while Tuấn Anh had 100 points. With such close score differences, the Final round was expected to continue to produce fierce competition.
With the lead, Nam Khánh was the first contestant to enter the final round with a package of 3 questions worth 20 points. He got off to a good start by answering the first question correctly. However, he failed to score on the second question. Nhật Long pressed the buzzer to answer and gave the correct answer, thus taking the lead. Nam Khánh was unable to score any more points on the final question. Therefore, his lead was not entirely secure, as his competitors were still fiercely pursuing him.
Nhat Long entered the final round with the advantage he had just gained from Nam Khanh's question. With a 20-point package of three questions, the student capitalized on his strength in the English question and quickly earned another 20 points on the first question. The remaining two questions did not bring Nhat Long any points. Notably, on the final question, he lost points to Nam Khanh. The gap narrowed once again, with the leading contestants constantly staying close to each other.
Minh Duy was the third contestant to reach the finish line with 3 questions worth 20 points. The male student had a good start by answering the first question correctly. However, on the second question, Nhat Long pressed the buzzer to answer and gave the correct answer, thus continuing to move into the lead. With the "hope star" on the final question, Minh Duy was unable to score any more points.
The final round belonged to Tuan Anh with a question package worth 20 - 30 - 30 points. On the first question, Tuan Anh did not give the correct answer. Nam Khanh quickly pressed the buzzer to answer and scored an additional 20 points. With this result, Nam Khanh and Nhat Long both had 210 points, bringing the race to a tie before the decisive questions.
The next 30-point question continued to fail to earn Tuan Anh any points. Nhat Long pressed the buzzer to answer but couldn't give the correct answer. By the final question, Tuan Anh still hadn't managed to answer correctly. Nhat Long pressed the buzzer again, but his answer matched Tuan Anh's earlier choice, resulting in no points.
After the final round, Nhat Long had 180 points, Minh Duy 130 points, Tuan Anh 80 points, and Nam Khanh was leading with 210 points.
With 210 points, Nguyen Nam Khanh brilliantly won the Week 2 - March - Quarter IV title in the 26th season of the "Road to Olympia" competition after a dramatic contest right up to the final questions.
