PH Dragon Boat team wins 2nd gold medal

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Dragon Boat team bagged another gold medal in the ongoing International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) 10th World Championships in Tampa Bay, Florida.

This time, the Filipino paddlers won first place in the Premier 200-meter mixed event with a time of 57.07 seconds.

Trinidad and Tobago came in second (01:00.719) followed by Puerto Rico (01:03.393) and Italy (01:03.941).

The Philippine team that entered the Premier 200-meter mixed event was composed of 5 men and 5 women.

The Filipino paddlers, who call themselves “Dragon Warriors,” earlier won the gold medal in the Premier 1,000m event (small boat) by setting a record time of 04:57.130.

The Dragon Warriors, who made it to the competition despite lack of funding, are grateful for the support extended by private sponsors, including the Filipino community in the US.

“Nagpapasalamat ang [Team] Pilipinas sa lahat ng sumuporta. Napakaraming Pinoy dito na patuloy ang pagdala ng pagkain tubig at energy bars,” said ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo, who is reporting straight from Tampa.
