Dragon
Boat Season is here! Local teams have been seen practicing hard on Hong
Kong’s waterfront for the largest dragon boat racing event in the
world-- all culminating to it’s peak on June 7, 2019 where spectators
will gather together to watch the dragon boat races. Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022 2022 (GGHK2022)
will be the first time the Gay Games has been hosted in Asia and the
first time Dragon Boat Racing will be one of the sporting events. This
event dates back centuries and is very well known for its energetic and
colorful teams of paddlers that race long narrow boats accompanied by
the beat of the drum down to the finish line.
If
you love a challenge, teamwork, and water, then dragon boat racing is
your sport- definitely consider registering for to be part of this
sporting event at #GGHK2022. Whether you’re on the water or simply
watching, everyone enjoys this sport-- this is a must-attend event for
all!
The 2019 Dragon Boat Races in Hong Kong will have at least two very unique teams, The Fierce Dragons and The Dynamos.
The Fierce Dragons in Training
The
Fierce Dragon’s are our very own out and proud Dragon Boat team
comprised of members from OutinHK, the group organised by Dennis
Phillipse, who is also one of the Co-Chairs of the Hong Kong Bid Team
that won the rights to host the 2022 Gay Games in Hong Kong. They’ve
been out training big time and are prepared to SLAY in 2019, with their
eyes firmly on the GOLD after coming home with a Silver Cup the last two
years.
You may have seen The Dynamos in a recent South China Morning Post Article,
they are Hong Kong’s first and only dragon boat team comprised of
domestic helpers. They've overcome enormous difficulties to train each
week, on their only day off, attending yoga and strength training
classes, as well as learning paddling techniques and more-- working
together to build camaraderie, confidence, and self-esteem.
The two highest profile events to attend are:
The
Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships in Stanley Main Beach
on June 7, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.
The
Dragon Boat Carnival: a 3-day event and massive party with live
entertainers, marching bands, and lion dances! This year’s event takes
place from Friday - Sunday June 14 - 16, 2019 in Victoria Harbour, at
the Central Waterfront.
The
Dragon Boat Races are a fiercely competitive event, and we are looking
forward to attending and cheering the teams to victory!
