Besides the victory songs written, fans also saw in the tournament a song about extraordinary determination. Pham Tuan Hung brought his story of determination into each swim at Bao Ninh beach (Dong Hoi, Quang Tri ) in the Open Water Swimming competition (1.5km swim) on the morning of August 2.
Tuan Hung was born in Quang Ninh in unfortunate circumstances. When he was only 2 years old, he lost his legs due to a bear bite. However, he did not surrender to fate, but on the contrary, the young man rose up strongly, even doing something that few people could imagine, which was competing in sports with athletes (many of whom were professional athletes).
In April, when Tuan Hung entered the Full Aqua Relay Warriors event (3km swim, 15km run), he won the hearts of fans thanks to his extraordinary determination when trying to complete the 3km swim in the ocean. That is something that few ordinary people dare to think of. But "warrior" Tuan Hung still decided to challenge. Each shout of "Go" when the 2002-born boy went ashore was like a precious encouragement for Tuan Hung's determination.
Meeting the determined young man again in the scorching heat of Quang Tri this morning (August 2), many people saw Tuan Hung more resilient but still with that smile. Now, Tuan Hung has joined the disabled swimming team of Ho Chi Minh City. He traveled from Da Nang to Quang Tri to decide to conquer Aqua Warriors once again, with a completely new content: Open Water Swimming (1.5km swimming).
Tuan Hung shared with Dan Tri reporter: “The first time I participated in the tournament in Ha Long, I felt that this was a very interesting tournament, bringing me many emotions. For the next time in Quang Tri, I want to conquer and see how attractive the beach here is.”

The “legless” boy completed his swimming competition at a much faster speed than in the Ha Long tournament. “Before this tournament, I practiced for a month. I practiced both physical strength and swimming to improve my performance compared to the previous tournament. Because of the advantage of living near the sea, I had the opportunity to practice a lot. I am satisfied with my performance in Quang Tri. I feel like I swam better than last time,” Tuan Hung shared.
Tuan Hung confidently affirmed: "I can start to control the waves and wind at sea but still need to get used to it to improve my performance."
Finally, the determined young man from Quang Ninh sent a message to those in the same situation as him. “Don’t be afraid of your shortcomings. Who knows, they might become something special for you. Keep trying!”, Tuan Hung affirmed.
Pham Tuan Hung is a fairly famous Tiktoker on social networks with nearly 700,000 followers. In it, he mainly shares his daily stories, as well as his swimming and soccer training process, his greatest passions.
