VTV.vn - The Final Round of the 24th Road to Mount Olympia will take place at 8:30 AM on October 13. Currently, all four broadcast stations—Hanoi, Hue, Gia Lai, and Phu Yen—are ready.

The 2024 Road to Mount Olympia Final will be a contest between four students: Tran Trung Kien (Le Hong Phong High School, Phu Yen); Nguyen Quoc Nhat Minh (Hung Vuong Specialized High School, Gia Lai); Vu Quang Phu Duc (Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted - Thua Thien Hue); and Nguyen Nguyen Phu (High School for Gifted Students, Hanoi University of Education). The Final Round of the 24th Olympia will take place at 8:30 AM on October 13.

The four live broadcast stations for the Road to Mount Olympia 2024 Final will be set up at iconic landmarks in the hometowns of the four contestants. This year, in addition to Hanoi and Hue, Phu Yen and Gia Lai will also be broadcast stations for the first time at the Road to Mount Olympia final.

In Hanoi, where the final will take place, the event will be held at   Vietnam Television's (VTV)Studio S14. According to Editor Phan Tien Dung, who is responsible for producing the program, all preparations for the competition have been completed. He revealed: "This year’s Road to Mount Olympia final has one notable difference from previous years in terms of organization. The organizing committee will set up an additional viewing room during the competition. This is where the advisory board will be seated to follow the event. The room will be equipped with high-resolution monitors and quality sound systems to ensure that the advisory board has the best possible conditions to observe all the content and responses of the contestants, thereby improving the accuracy of the judging process."

Since 2018, the final rounds of Road to Mount Olympia have moved the broadcast stations out of school campuses and into open spaces in the centers of provinces and cities. The production team believes that each broadcast station provides a place for local residents to come and cheer on  their students. These stations not only honor the intellectual talents of the students but also serve as an opportunity to promote local tourism.

Broadcast station at Dai Doan Ket Square (Gia Lai)

For the first time, Gia Lai will be a broadcast station for the Road to Mount Olympia final. In preparation for this special event, the production team from the Entertainment Program Production Department of Vietnam Television visited Pleiku City early on to survey the location. Dai Doan Ket Square (Pleiku City) was chosen as the location for the live broadcast of the 24th Road to Mount Olympia final in Gia Lai. Dai Doan Ket Square, also known by locals as the 'Great Square', covers an area of more than 12 hectares.

Located in the city center, this area is a popular destination where locals come to walk and exercise throughout the day. The live broadcast of the 24th Road to Mount Olympia final in Gia Lai is not only an intellectual event but also an opportunity to promote the cultural identity and tourism of the region. It provides Gia Lai a chance to reaffirm its place on the national map of tourism and education while fostering the spirit of learning and the ambition of the province's younger generation.

Broadcast station at Nghinh Phong Tower Square (Phu Yen)

For the first time,   Phu Yen  will also host a broadcast station in the Road to Mount Olympia final. The production team from the Entertainment Program Production Department (VTV3) of Vietnam Television has worked closely with the Phu Yen People's Committee to ensure thorough preparations for the event, guarantee  absolute safety and spread  the program's values and messages among students and the public.

Nghinh Phong Square was chosen as the broadcast site. Built in 2020 and began operation in 2021, the square is located at the intersection of Nguyen Huu Tho and Doc Lap streets (Tuy Hoa City). The Nghinh Phong Tower features a striking design inspired by the iconic local Ghenh Da Dia rock formations and the legendary story of 'Hundred Eggs, Hundred Children' of Lac Long Quan and Au Co.

According to the production team, in addition to the nationwide live broadcast content related to contestant Tran Trung Kien’s performance, the Phu Yen broadcast station will feature several artistic performances inspired by bai choi folk songs and traditional games to cheer on the contestant and inspire local pride. These performances aim to instill a sense of cultural heritage, especially among the younger generation, highlighting the region’s educational movement and traditional values. This is also an opportunity for Phu Yen, along with the students of Le Hong Phong High School, to shine on the intellectual stage while promoting the province's image, people, educational spirit, and cultural history on national television.

Broadcast station at Ngo Mon Square (Thua Thien Hue)

The live broadcast station for the 24th Road to Mount Olympia final in Thua Thien-Hue will be held at Ngo Mon Square – Imperial Citadel of Hue, instead of at the Hue National High School for the Gifted as in previous years.

The broadcast station in Hue, with the participation of a large number of students, teachers, parents, and local residents, will provide a strong source of encouragement for contestant Vo Quang Phu Duc as he confidently aims to conquer this year's Road to Mount Olympia. The choice of Ngo Mon Square as the broadcast location, showcased through live television and media coverage, will also serve as an opportunity to promote the image, people, and scholarly traditions of the Hue region, supporting the development of local tourism and the economy.

Broadcast station at Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam (Hanoi)

This is the second time that Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam has been chosen as the broadcast location for Olympia. The first time was during the final of the 22nd Road to Mount Olympia. MC Cong To will be leading the broadcast from Hanoi this year, marking his first appearance among the quartet of MCs at the Olympia broadcast stations.

This historic monument is also one of Hanoi’s most famous tourist attractions, drawing visitors from near and far.
