Paddlers compete on world stage
Local dragon boat paddlers will compete on the world stage this month when they take part in the World Dragon Boat Championships in Canada.
Paddlers from a number of Docklands-based clubs will compete in the event, which will see teams from over 20 countries meet at the Welland International Flatwater Centre in Ontario from August 18 to August 23.
The Australian team, known as the Auroras, includes 41 Docklands representatives from local clubs the Yarra River Dragons, Melbourne Flames and Dragon Masters.
Flames Coach Serghei Cusca will also head to the championships this month as head coach of the Australian team.
Docklanders got the chance to witness the team’s sporting prowess last month, when the Aurora’s held an open day on July 26.
