Nguyễn Thị Hương (born March 5, 1982) is a Vietnamese former swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1] Nguyen swam for Vietnam in the women's 400 m individual medley at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 5:24.94.[2] She participated in heat one against three other swimmers Georgina Bardach of Argentina, 26-year-old Jana Korbasová of Slovakia, and Alexandra Zertsalova of Kyrgyzstan. She rounded out a small field to last place in 5:26.56, the slowest of all in the heats, just two seconds off her lifetime best and entry standard. Nguyen failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-eighth overall on the first day of prelims.[3][4]
