Anh Vien shows off her Lieutenant Colonel rank, making netizens admire.

Nguyen Thi Anh Vien responded to the trend of showing off personal achievements that has blossomed among young people on social networks with a short post consisting of a photo and the description: "The youngest professional military lieutenant colonel in Vietnam".

Anh Vien posted a photo of herself in military uniform and announced that she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel from July 5, 2023.

Anh Vien was selected and trained by the National Defense Sports Center 4 (under Military Region 9) since she was 10 years old. In early 2012, Anh Vien was transferred by the General Staff from a Defense Worker to a Professional Soldier with the rank of Senior Lieutenant. At that time, Anh Vien was only 19 years old.

The female athlete nicknamed "Little Mermaid" held the rank of Major before deciding to stop competing at the highest level and leave the Vietnamese swimming team.

Anh Vien was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Professional Soldier.

Nguyen Thi Anh Vien has won 25 SEA Games Gold Medals. She is one of the iconic athletes of Vietnamese sports in the regional arena.

After experiencing heavy pressure from declining performance and form, the pride of the country's swimming decided to end her dream of contributing to the country's sports. Anh Vien's choice to put aside her peak competitive career at the age of 26 left many regrets for sports fans in general and swimming fans in particular.

Although she is new to social media platforms, Anh Vien quickly showed her influence with videos continuously appearing on the trending list.

The videos posted by Anh Vien focus on sharing swimming knowledge such as swimming techniques, floating techniques, etc. She attracts attention from the online community thanks to her in-depth knowledge and friendly sharing style.

In May 2023, Anh Vien attended the opening ceremony of a free swimming class for children in Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, this former swimmer will continue to be an ambassador for the child drowning prevention program organized by the Central Youth Union and the Central Council of Young Pioneers.

In recent times, Anh Vien has not only directly taught basic swimming techniques to children, but she has also tried to use her image to inspire children’s love of swimming. The fact that an athlete with many honors in her career like Anh Vien directly teaches swimming easily attracts the attention of families and children.

Therefore, Anh Vien will not only teach in Ho Chi Minh City. She will join the Central Council of Young Pioneers to go to many remote areas to continue this work.
