General Interest

General
EARLY DAYS
At age eight he moved to the People's Republic of China to pursue gymnastics, before returning to Vietnam at age 16. "I was very homesick. I missed my parents and my sister, but I decided to stick with gymnastics and follow it to the end." (news.zing.vn, 23 Aug 2017; tinthethao.com.vn, 23 Aug 2017)

MEDICAL CONDITION
He has suffered from musculoskeletal inflammation in the arms and left leg since age 14. He spends more time with team physiotherapists before each training session or competition. "The condition has no rules so I have to try to live with it and accept it." (news.zing.vn, 22 Aug 2018)

Milestones

He became the first male gymnast representing Vietnam to win a gold medal at the Asian championships when he triumphed on vault at the 2017 edition of the tournament in Bangkok, Thailand. (SportsDeskOnline, 21 Sep 2017; bongdaplus.vn, 02 Aug 2017)
