In October 2015 she had a thigh injury and did not compete at the Vietnamese national championships. (vietnamnews, 13 Nov 2015)

"I was called to practice with Nam Dinh Province's team in 2007 at the age of 13." (vir, 17 Sep 2015)

She took up the sport with the aim of helping her family. "I was clearly aware of our poverty ever since I was just a little girl. That's why although I was facing many challenges, I decided to pursue athletic sport. It was the only way to help my mum and my family improve their circumstances." (vir, 17 Sep 2015)

General
RETIREMENT AND RETURN
In 2018 she announced her retirement from the sport. However, after giving birth to her daughter, she returned to competition in 2019 and won two gold medals at that year's South East Asian Games in the Philippines. "I understand that to achieve good results, I have to focus 100% on training. Returning to training after giving birth was very hard, but my family have encouraged me to train and compete. Even though I'm older now, I will keep going as long as I can. Before I gave birth, my speed strength was very good, but I think now [speaking in 2023] I haven't showed much of that as my strongest point."
