One of the most impressive moments of VM Nha Trang 2023 was when Kenyan Victor Chepkwony, the 42-km runner-up, held hands with Vietnamese runner Phan Anh Son towards the finish line.

When Chepkwony was 500 meters from the finish line, he saw Son, a 21-km competitor, running in the same direction, so he approached, held his hands, and they completed the race together.
