Van Trang Cans Dich Top 1 Female 42km Y Ti Mua Vang 2026, Responds to Rumors with 'Running with Feet'

The moment Vân Trang stepped onto the podium at Lảo Thẩn Peak, 2.860m above sea level, in the Y Tý Mùa Vàng 2026 trail run on September 6, 2026, etched into the hearts of thousands of runners. The mother of 4 children born in 2026, nicknamed Jang Doll, won the top spot in the female 42km trail category. More notably, she claimed the overall 2nd place, surpassing almost all male runners by finishing in 4 hours 26 minutes. The 42km trail path in Y Tí (Lào Cai) has over 1,300m cumulative elevation gain, with steep terrain and thin air in the highlands being a nightmare for any athlete. Vân Trang shared with reporters: "The 42km course has steep sections that drain the body of energy. At those moments, I focused only on the path ahead, maintaining breath rhythm, pacing efforts, and timing fuel intake. I always reminded myself: 'Stay calm, as long as there's strength, there's still hope'. This endurance comes from daily consistency and discipline. Besides running, I combine gym workouts, swimming, and supplementary exercises to build physical resilience.". The first call from Vân Trang shattered the old writing house I built. In women's sports, I seek not victory but liberation. Here too, with trail running, this mother's journey is about mental strength surpassing limits. The 42km trail path in Y Tí (Lào Cai) boasts over 1,300m cumulative elevation. Steep terrain and thin air are terrifying for runners. Talking about the moment of pushing to the limit, Vân Trang said: "The 42km has steep sections draining energy. I focused on the path ahead, maintained breathing, paced, and timed fuel. I reminded myself: 'Stay calm, strength means hope'. This comes from consistency and discipline. Besides running, I do gym, swim, and exercises to build body.". Run with feet, not with people's mouths! Right after stepping down from the podium, Vân Trang's image was unexpectedly taken to some running groups for tasteless gossip. Instead of praising the professional record, the crowd fixated on her natural "1" under the tight sports outfit, even using "carrying two pomelos while running" to mock. Not silent, the female runner directly and harshly responded: "I say truly, who carries two pomelos running 42km or 55km mountain trails! I run with my feet, not relying on appearance. People see pressure, I see it as 'vitamin C supplement' for spirit. Important is I still finish, still healthy. For judging, judge away, I run with my own feet, not with people's mouths!". The runner from Hà Nội straightly expressed hope for a more civilized view of female athletes: "Female athletes should first be recognized for effort and achievement. Appearance is each person's story, achievement is result of years of training. When seeing a girl on the run, I hope people see someone striving to conquer their own limits". She declared: "Run with feet, not with people's mouths!" Facing question if she would wear more modest or loose clothing to avoid gazes, the champion decisively said: "Sports clothing must first be comfortable and safe. If I change myself just to avoid prying eyes, perhaps I would always live according to others' eyes. I choose to focus on the run and my goals. Marathon taught me not to always run in perfect conditions. Life is the same. Compliments make me happy, criticism helps me reflect, but malicious words I learn to ignore". The glory at Lảo Thẩn concluded, the next goal of the mother of 4 is to conquer the more intense Ultra Trail 70km in VMM race upcoming and end of year is 100km content. "Let achievement speak. I don't need to become the version others want to see. Just becoming a better version of myself every day is enough," Vân Trang expressed determination for the next journey.
