Vietnamese gymnast Phan Thi Ha Thanh was named "Best Athlete of the Year for 2011," defeating 78 other athletes in the process. Phan won the bronze medal on vault at October's world championships in Tokyo — the first world medal for a Vietnamese gymnast — and also took three golds at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. Journalists and sports authorities voted on the honor and selected Phan, whose world medal secured her a berth to the 2012 Olympic Games.
