  4. Wow, thats an extremely impressive record. Us British had a good rowing team at last Olympics, but by the sounds of it, we’ll have even more competition next time!

  5. Wow, that’s quite a feat as China essentially invented that sport right? Congratulations and more power to the Philippine Dragon Boat rowing team!

  6. Despite being involved in a couple of corporate Dragon Boat races on the Thames, I’ve never felt that a standard rowing machine could quite prepareme for the difference in style used. (Despit the overall fitness improvement of course!)
