" More than a Sport – a Tradition " 4. Dragon Sport News - Emagazine “The Independent Voice of Dragon Boat Sport” December 2017 Winter Edition A NEW YEAR’S WISH OR TWO. by Mike MacKeddie-Haslam. WELCOME again 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 ! Looking back at the 2017 World Nations Champs and the IDBF Congress in Kunming, led me to thinking about a New Year’s wish or two. The first concerns our dedicated Race Officials or rather their leaders. At the Team Mangers Meeting for the Worlds’ it was stated that there would be no ‘false starts’ during the Championships and that any crew that did make a false start would be disqualified. Why, because the Chief Official did not want to have to delay a race when CCTV 5 were covering the races live ! Well great to have TV coverage etc but that cannot over-ride the IDBF Racing Rules, which allow for one false start without immediate disqualification. Only the IDBF Members can change the Racing Rules and then only in an Olympic Year. In Hong Kong, in 2012 crews were told that if they were late in the Boat Marshalling area they would be given Time Penalties. Again no such rule exists. So, my first wish is for Race Officials to remember that they are there to help crews to race and not to stop them. My second concern is that things were a bit rushed at the Members Congress. All the supporting papers for the Agenda were only given to the Delegates when they arrived at the Congress. Among them were changes to the Statutes and Bye-Laws which the IDBF President asked the Congress to vote for ‘on block’, with hardly any time to consider the changes or discuss them. The reason was that there were lots of presentations on future World Champs to listen to and elections to be held. Fair enough, nice to hear presentations but discussing changes to the IDBF Statutes is surely more important and changes need thinking time before voting on. So, my second wish is more discussion time at Congress please, for issues affecting our Sport. For more ‘Talking Points’ from the IDBF Congress, see page 30.. Having set up my New Year’s wishes, may I also say a heartfelt thankyou to the IDBF Council and Members Congress for recognising my role in creating the IDBF and modern Sport Racing, by acknowledging me as the IDBF Founder. A title to go with that of Honorary President, accorded to me by the 2015 IDBF Members Congress. ‘Honours’ from peers are honours indeed and very much appreciated.

  • Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak
    Task Force on Kai Tak Harbourfront Development For discussion TFKT/17/2011 on 3 Aug 2011 Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak PURPOSE This Paper is to present Members with the Conceptual Background for the development of Kai Tak as a Water Sports Centre and to request endorsement of taking the concept further in determining the development content of the Kai Tak Waterfront. INTRODUCTION 2. The future planning and use of Kai Tak was presented to the public in 2004 as a potential sports hub for Hong Kong. While focus has been on the provision of the Stadium and associated land based sports facilities, little attention has been given to the enormous potential Kai Tak has to become the major focal point for water sport in Hong Kong, and to provide sports facilities not possible elsewhere. It has the potential to become an International Standard water sports centre in the middle of the City, and will require the water quality to be addressed. This would not only become an important water sports event centre but would for the first time provide a convenient water sports training and competition venue close to the main population centre of the City. 3. For the last year or so the three main National Sports Associations (NSA’s) responsible for water sports – The Hong Kong China Rowing Association, the Hong Kong Canoe Union and the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Association – having been meeting with the Home Affairs Bureau and the Kai Tak Office (KTO) of CEDD to discuss the opportunities that exist. Other water-based NSA’s have indicated a strong interest in being involved.

  • Kayaking Or Rafting Trekking Jet Skiing Water Skiing
    8/14/2021 Adventure sports in India Man being terrestrial by nature, the idea of flying high and diving deep in the blues has always held tremendous fascination for mankind. This intriguing wish has given birth to adventure sports. The adventure sports mania has recently rooted in the Indian scenario. Young generations always have a liking for adventures. They are always on the lookout for experiences that will get their pulsations racing. And an adventure sport caters to this very need for adrenaline surge. Additional to this, the rising Indian GDP gives substantial money in the hands of younger generations to splurge on such nerve wrecking outings. All these reasons have added to the growing popularity of adventure sports in India. India is blessed with a variety of geographic features and thus it provides as an ideal abode for all kinds of adventure sports. With a crowning glory of Himalayas on top and a number of rivers flowing through, Trekking, Rafting is possible. Being surrounded by sea extensively, there is a lot of scope for scuba diving, parasailing, jet skiing, water skiing etc. I have summarized in short the various adventure sports one can enjoy in India. Kayaking Or Rafting White-water rafting is a recent attraction for tourist in the north. Indian rivers flowing through the snow clad Himalayan peaks provide ample scope for rafting. These river beds being rocky it gives a turbulent flow to the river waters and hence it makes the rafting experience here, an unforgettable one. Some of the rivers where rafting is possible in India are Ganges(Rishikesh), Indus(Leh),Tista(Sikkim), Beas(Kullus) Trekking Indian Himalayas provide a vast potential for trekking.
