Dragon Sport News - Emagazine “An Independent Voice for Dragon Boat Sport” September 2019 Autumn Edition Is the pioneering body that took the initiative of introduci ng Dragon Boats to Egypt. We are a legally and officially registered company that aspires to promote tourism, culture, sports and friendship through holding Dragon Boat events. Our company was founded by Mary Lai, and is run under the presidency of Ehab Gouda. Since 2016, we hav e been organizing Dragon Boat festivals in Egypt during the Chinese holidays. We focus on strengthening the friends hip relations between Egypt and China through establishing stronger cultural ties between the two nations and our activities and events are fully endorsed by the Chinese Embassy in Egypt and the Chinese Culture Center in Cairo. We actively pursue recruiting more Egyptians to participate in the Dragon Boat Festivals. We also provide them with the equipment needed for training and we encourage the participants to professionally pursue Dragon Boating through forming teams that could compete internationally. Moreover, we promote the culture of Dragon Boat festivals through holding annual festivals to spread this sport in Egypt, and to attract tour ists from around the globe; thus supporting Egyptian tourism. Beside being the world’s longest river, the Nile river connects 11 vital countries in Africa with a population surpassing 487.5 million, as est imated by nilebasin.org in 2015. The Nile is associated with growth, prosperity and development among the countries of the Nile Basin. Most of the population in the Nile Basin countries resides near it. It is estimated by nilebasin.org that the total population living in the boundary of the Nile river exceeds 257 million. As it is the case with all African countries, the Nile Basin have a promising demographic composing predominantly of youth. It is estimated by nilebasin.org, that the sum total of the populat ion of the Nile Basin accounts for about 40% of the total African population. With an astounding length of 6,500 KM and a promising population density across its bank, the Nile River serves as great medium to promote the sport of Dragon Boat along. Nile basin countries share the gi ft of the world’s longest river, the Nile River. Our goal is to use the Nile river as a medium to gather Nile Basin Countries around the Dragon Boats. As were are greatly inspired by the One Belt One Road Initiative, we believe that Dragon Boat could be an innovative tool into connecting the countries along the Belt and Road and establish a stronger bond among them. Since Dragon Boat Egypt has proved to be efficient in promoting Dragon Boat in Egypt, we would like to take our activities a step forward and extend them throughout Nile Basin countries of Africa. This step will help promoting and further growing the sport throughout the continent, as it will also help in establishing a stronger bond among the countries of the Nile Basin while encouraging people to people diplomacy. Dragon Boating. " More than a Sport – a Tradition " 4. Dragon Sport News - Emagazine “An Independent Voice for Dragon Boat Sport” September 2019 Autumn Edition THE BIGGEST AND BEST CHAMPS YET - ON TWO LEVELS ! WELCOME to Dragon Sport News, the E -magazine with news and views on all aspects of Dragon Boating and what people think and feel about it ! What a great 2019 for the Sport with both the IDBF World Champs in Payatya, Thailand and the EDBF Club Crew Champs in Seville, Spain attracting record numbers of participants, for such Championships, with nearly 4000 from 30 Countries in Pattaya and over 2 000 from 64 Clubs (15 Nations) in Seville !! Meanwhile the ICF continues to try and persuade the IOC that the ICF is as big a player in the Dragon Boat World as the IDBF. To this end the ICF is planning a demonstration Dragon Boat Race , during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the ICF President has persuaded the Chinese Canoe Association to build an 8 paddler boat for the occasion. As a result, of these latest ICF actions and many others beforehand , the IDBF recently made a formal complaint to the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) about the continuing incursion o f the ICF into our Sport and Asia in particular. The complaints will also be put before the IOC Ethics Committee, with a similar complaint , no doubt, going to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). The truth of the ICF’s involvement in our Sport is that it is very small, with less than 1000 participants (all from IDBF Member Countries) at each of the ICF’s last three events, held in Atlanta, Moscow and Kiev, over the last 18 months and only a few events on the ICF Calendar , as opposed to over 150 IDBF Members & Festivals events. Practically the ICF is a ‘bit player’ in our Sport but politically the ICF has influence within the Olympic Family and that is a problem. Racing The Dragon ! It is almost 40 years since in 1980, I first became involved in Drago n Boat Racing and began to develop modern Sport Racing. F irst in the UK, with the formation of the British Dragon Boat Racing Association (the BDA) in 1987 and then the EDBF (1990) and finally the IDBF (1991), all organisation s’ in which I have been proud to serve our Sport, in various roles from Secretary -General to President. To share with you my journey of a life-time and to trace the development of Sport Racing from the 1980 Hong Kong Festival on the River Thames, in London, to the present day, I will be writing a book over the coming winter months, for publication in the Spring of 2020 and I would like to include your experiences of our great Sport, in the book. So please drop me a line or two or mor e, of how you came to Dragon Boating, when and where and I will endeavour to include every contributor in the book. Pictures too would be greatly appreciated . Over to you ! Congratulations go to Mike Thomas and Alan Van Caubergh on their re-election as IDBF President and Treasurer, respectively, at the IDBF Members Congress held in Pat taya on 26 Aug 2019. Congratulations too go to Ute Becker- Frenzel, Valery Morgun, Jorge Carracedo and Peter Jarosi on their election as EDBF Vice-Presidents’ at the EDBF Congress held in Seville on 29 July 2019 e See separate report s on the Congresses’.

  • 2021 RI Dragon Boat Press Release
    May 7, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: James Toomey, Director of Marketing [email protected] 401-724-2200 Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival delayed until 2022 Pawtucket, RI - The annual cultural festival that takes place at Festival Pier along the Pawtucket River will need to be postponed until next year. The tough decision to not stage this popular event was made by festival organizers to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Though things are opening up, the RI Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is confined to Festival Pier along the waterfront. To provide the exciting event fans have come accustomed to, there is virtually no room to allow for adequate spacing of the dozens of teams that come from around the Northeast and thousands of spectators. “‘Safety first’ is our guidance while enjoying the rivers of Rhode Island” states Blackstone Valley Tourism Council President, Bob Billington. “With COVID-19 still a factor we need to stay extra vigilant.” Pawtucket Mayor, Donald R. Grebien comments, “while it is very unfortunate that the event has been postponed to next year, I thank the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council and the festival organizers for prioritizing the safety of our community.” The unique style of this race’s boats also created a challenge as the sheer size of these 50 ft and 30 ft vessels make it extremely difficult to move and maneuver with a reduced number of paddlers, which is recommended per dragon boat race guidance. Matt Robert, race official and owner of 22Dragons says, “the dragon boats used at the races in Pawtucket are just too big to move properly with the amount of paddlers when considering all current COVID-19 requirements.
