dragon boat racing
Team paddle sport
Dragon boat racing is a paddling sport in which teams propel long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails.
Crew members paddle in unison to the beat of a drum, racing other boats over a set distance.
The sport originated in China and is now practiced worldwide, especially at festivals: Our company has a dragon boat racing team.
