The sudden passing of a "legend" full of willpower.

The Vietnam Triathlon Federation has officially confirmed the death of Tuan Vo on the night of December 22nd/early morning of December 23rd. At the age of 41, a prime time for health and career, his passing is a great shock, as he was known for his disciplined and rigorous lifestyle. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Triathlon Federation and President of the Da Nang Triathlon Club, he was not only an athlete but also a pioneer in this demanding sport in Central Vietnam.

Although the specific cause has not been disclosed in detail by the family, in the world of elite sports, sudden cardiovascular incidents during prolonged high-intensity activity are always a constant worry. The passing of Tuan Vo in the final days of the year has cast a somber shadow over the Ironman Vietnam community. Many cannot believe that someone capable of completing the world's most grueling races could end their journey so prematurely.

Artists are shocked by the unfulfilled promise of singer Duc Tuan.

Immediately after the sad news spread, many artists who are passionate about sports expressed their sorrow. On his personal page, singer Duc Tuan – a close friend and fellow triathlete – wrote tearful farewells. Duc Tuan called Tuan Vo "a younger brother in life but an older brother in sports" to express his admiration for his unwavering will.

The male singer choked up as he shared about the promises he hadn't had time to fulfill and his plan to complete the 140.6m (Full Ironman) race next year in Da Nang on behalf of his late friend. The image of Tuan Vo's gentle yet determined smile is something his friends and colleagues will always remember. For Duc Tuan and many other artists, Tuan Vo was not just an athlete, but also a mentor, an inspiration, always guiding and encouraging them to overcome their limits on challenging running and swimming tracks.

The legacy of Vietnam's number one "Ironman".

Vo Quoc Tuan began his triathlon journey in 2015 and quickly rose to the top. He is one of the few Vietnamese athletes to achieve the "sub 5" milestone (completing Ironman 70.3 in under 5 hours) – an extremely difficult achievement for semi-professionals. Notably, in 2018 in Malaysia, he made history by finishing 188th out of 1,250 international athletes, officially becoming Vietnam's number one Ironman athlete at that time, recognized internationally.

He built a strong Da Nang Triathlon community where sports enthusiasts could learn, share, and reach new heights together. The passing of Tuan Vo is an irreplaceable loss, but the flame of passion and the "iron will" he ignited will surely burn brightly in the hearts of those who remain, on every mile of the race ahead.
