The 10th Stanley Dragon Boat Short Course Races
On June 26, the HKBSF Dragon Boat Team, composed of about 40 members, including both volunteers and visually impaired athletes, participated in the 10th Stanley Dragon Boat Short Course Race. Thanks to Stanley Dragon Boat Association’s sponsorship of participation fees, our visually impaired athletes had a chance to display their skills in this event.
As there were over 100 record-breaking teams participating in the race, the competition was rather fierce. Our team did not perform well in the first teams race, but still entered the Bowl Semi-final. Although teams in the Bowl Semi-final were well-matched, with great tenacity and determination our team entered the Gold Bowl Final. In the final the opponents were even stronger, but our team persisted till the end and won the 4th place, which was the best record of HKBSF in this event.
Thus ended the dragon boat races. Here we’d like to express our gratitude to the coaches, volunteers and supporters and our wish for a better result next year.
