The young man from Nghe An province wins the Silver Medal at the Vietnam Sasuke competition.

(Baonghean.vn) - Having overcome thousands of contestants to win the Silver Medal at the Unlimited Program - Sasuke Vietnam 2016, however, for Le Van Dai (born in 1993), residing in Hamlet 8, Tien Ky Commune (Tan Ky District), this is not the final limit...

Le Van Dai has had a passion for sports since he was a child.

With a passion for sports, Dai enthusiastically trained and participated in several competitions at the district and provincial levels from a young age. While studying at Hue University of Law, Dai had the opportunity to participate in all the tournaments organized by the university and the city of Hue. He almost always won prizes in the sports he participated in, such as first place in stick pushing and arm wrestling at the city level in 2011 and 2012...

After graduating and not yet having found a job, Dai happily became a coach at the SS Club in Trung Do Building, Vinh City. Along with instructing students in fitness exercises, this also allowed Dai to train and improve his physical fitness to fuel his ambition of conquering Sasuke.

The 2015 season was the 23-year-old's first season, however, due to rushing through the final obstacle in stage 3, Dai had to leave the program.

The failure of the 2015 season fueled his determination for the 2016 season.

In the 2016 season, with high determination, Dai only took 41 minutes to conquer the challenges, excellently topping the stage 2 leaderboard. In round 3, contestants had to overcome 6 challenges of increasing difficulty. Each challenge could be attempted a maximum of 3 times, provided the contestant did not break any rules or fall into the moat. However, due to a lack of luck, Dai finished in second place, winning a Silver Medal in the final.

Although he didn't reach the top of the podium, both seasons of the Unlimited - Sausage Vietnam tournament were unforgettable memories and experiences that motivated Le Van Dai to train harder and conquer tournaments abroad. The clearest evidence of this is his impressive performance and gold medal win at the Sports Mall game show in Bangkok, Thailand in 2016, with prize money of nearly 1 billion VND.

Dai joined the Green Team - the best warriors of Sasuke Vietnam.

Currently, Dai is training with the Green Team, a group comprised of the best Sasuke Vietnam warriors, to conquer Midoriyama peak in next year's Sasuke Vietnam competition. He shared: "Sasuke is a sport that demands high physical fitness. Besides training time, before competing, each person should learn more about Sasuke online to analyze the theory and study the terrain, then train and draw their own lessons to achieve the best results..."
