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!
