spoke to Mike Creamer (Canada's rowing coach) and Melissa Mihalovic (Steer for World Gold-Medalist Canadian Women Dragonboat) yesterday. The Chinese women keep a stroke rhythm of 110 while the Canadians go at 90. Melissa explained that the size and arm length of Canadian women gave longer strokes and makes it hard for the team to go past 95..
@lightfireX I actually spoke to the US team & their stroke about that, he said it's just practise! He's 6'2" and well over 170 pounds! Pretty amazing...
I am a rower and tried Dragon Boating today first time. It's not easy it's just different! Very different techniques, other than both are water sports there is not much in common so it isn't very good to compare and argue on which is harder. These people must be good athletes or they would not be the best in their countries would they?
@nexisras The fact that you are coming on a dragon boat video and dissing us already shows the kind of people that do crew. Is this how you are going to represent yourself and your sport? Way to go. Athletes that don't have respect for other sport in my opinion, should not be considered athletes at all. I'm sure many other agree.

WOW!!! What a race, USA has taking Dragonboating to a new level. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for posting this, the Philly team has sent this link to their friends and families so they can view what they heard about from us.
I watch this almost every day. It's so motivating! I can't believe how fast and in sync they are. I keep forwarding it to everyone I know!
That start left me speakless, so snappy and everyone hits together....wow

the captain called for "hards" injected halfway the race which is a shorter/faster stroke which made the count so..
cool my team in b.c the surgin steurgons had a 2:09 500m with a stroke rate of 154pm and we were against the current to.
Looking at them off the water you'd swear the Filo's would be capable of beating the Indo team.
@utubeazn123 I agree! Thanks for the complement ;)
What country you from?
I was there for the Jr. Canadain Team, watched this race and was like holy fucking shit when I saw the time!!
that it is very impressive speed
fili made 175 strokes while the joes had only 168-9, what made the difference? is it bec they are bigger and have longer reach?
Go PDBA!!
@utubeazn123 Awesome! Did you join Macau Club Crew World Championships concluded last July 28?
galing PDBF!
That was sweet :-)

dragon boating is the best!

The Filo team finished 2nd at the asian championships on the weekend. They must be sick of the runners up title.
