In this challenge, Anh Vien swam 1.14km continuously in 30 minutes and 41 seconds, pulling a 5m long, 1.8m wide canoe (carrying up to 8 people). On the boat, Do Kim Phuc performed continuously throughout the journey without dropping the ball. This is the first time in Vietnam that there is a combination of physical strength and performing arts on the sea, requiring absolute precision, smooth coordination and perseverance. Just one moment of distraction, one strong wave, or one off-beat move can cause the ball to drop and the challenge to fail. The event is supervised and certified by reputable representatives from record organizations and local governing bodies. Through this groundbreaking performance, Anh Vien and Kim Phuc not only affirmed the spirit of "Dare to think - Dare to do" of Vietnamese youth, but also conveyed a strong message about creativity and efforts to conquer passion. This is also a unique, interesting and impressive communication activity to promote the majestic beauty of Ha Long Bay to domestic and foreign audiences.
