Well! I had no idea that the UK had a dragon boat rowing team. Too bad they didn’t win any medals
Congratualtions to the Philippine Dragon Boat team!

Its fantastic, boating is quite tough and to maintain a winning streak is difficult.

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!

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

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!)
