IDBF News Magazine, December 2013 – Issue Number 29 Winter Edition ADELAIDE CONFIRMED TO HOST CLUB CREW WORLDS IN 2016 BUT 2017 WORLD NATIONS CHAMPS STILL TO BE DECIDED. MOSCOW OR ROTTERDAM !! DATES FOR RAVENNA 2014 CLUB CREW WORLDS CHANGED Delegates at the 14th IDBF Congress in Szeged, Hungary on 29th July 2013, faced a dilemma when it came to choosing the Host Federation for the 2017 World ‘Nations’ Dragon Boat Championships! Before the Congress, three intentions to bid for the event had been received from the Netherlands, Poland and Russia but Poland then indicated that they would not bid after-all and as both the Russian and Netherlands bids were provisional ones neither federation had a full presentation to put before the Congress. After some debate the Congress Delegates agreed that the two candidates would be given 12 months in which to prepare a full bid for the IDBF Council to consider in Ravenna, Italy during the 2014 CCWC and that the Council would then make the final decision on the venue the 2017 Worlds. For the 2016 Club Crew Worlds, bids had been made by Korea and Australia but Korea had subsequently withdrawn. After watching a presentation from the Australian Dragon Boat Federation the Congress awarded the 2016 Club Crew World Championships to Adelaide but with the proviso that if at all possible, the dates for the event would be during a school holiday period so as to allow Junior Crews to participate.. Claudio Schermi, President of the Italian Dragon Boat Association and Representatives from Ravenna, updated the Congress on the preparations being made for the 2014 CCWC and asked the Congress to agree to a change in the previously notified dates for the Championships, from late August in the high season for tourists to September, which was the low season. After discussion about the proposed dates, the Congress agreed a change from August to the 3-7 September 2014, when the accommodation costs to crews would be much lower than in the high season of August. For full details of Ravenna 2014 see separate article in this Issue of DBI. LIVE WEB TV COVERAGE OF DRAGON BOATING IN SZEGED IDBF LINKS UP WITH BELIEF PRODUCTION GROUP The World ‘Nations’ Championships in Szeged, saw the continuing development of the IDBF web TV, following on from the success of the coverage of the Hong Kong, Club Crew Worlds in 2012. With five days of continuous coverage of the racing, plus linking interviews, medals ceremonies and a live chat room, a new bench-mark was well and truly set in Szeged and over 50,000 viewing hours were clocked Richard Smith - Presenter up during the Championships. Produced for the IDBF by the Belief Group, using TV cameras and personnel provide by a local web streaming company, the innovation of an over-head flying camera gave great pictures off the start and of the crews racing, following them down the course in close up, from start to finish and projecting the races on to the giant video screen, at the same time, for spectators to watch too. Race commentary by Murray Jones and linking interviews by Richard Smith, coupled with the backroom production skills of Phil Keeler ably assisted by lively Windsor Wong in the chat room, resulted in some entertaining and very professional coverage of the World Championships. Phil Keeler - Producer You can watch recorded highlights of the Szeged Worlds via the IDBF website at www.idbf.org or through www.idbfdragonboat.tv where you can also watch other IDBF library videos or directly through the New York based Murray Jones Live Stream web company at www.Livestream.com.

IDBF News Magazine, December 2013 – Issue Number 29 Winter Edition 2013 THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE. EDITORIAL by Mike MacKeddie-Haslam. WELCOME to DBI the IDBF in-house magazine. The highlight of 2013, the Year of the Snake, was undoubtedly the outstanding success of the World Nations Championships held in Szeged, Hungary, in late July. Congratulations all round go to Peter Jarosi and the Szeged Organising Committee, of the Hungarian Dragon Boat Federation (HDBF) and their volunteers, for their first class organisation and to Mike Thomas and his dedicated band of IDBF Race Officials, who made the complicated and lengthy race programme run so smoothly ‘on the day’. A very successful European Club Crew Championships was also held in Hamburg in August, organised by the German Dragon Boat Association (DDV) and with a team of IDBF Race Officials led by Alan Van Caubergh, the EDBF Chairman. The Dragon Boat was again featured in the South East Asian Games but as a ‘traditional boat’, this time. The races were under the supervision of IDBF Race Officials, led by Dick Lim (Penang DBA) who was the Chief Official for the event. Off the water, IDBF Officials have run Coaches and Race Officials course for IDBF Members in Europe and visited various Countries new and old to Dragon Boating, offering help and advice on developing the Sport. Development boats have been sent to Romania, Serbia and Uganda. With the IDBF now compliant with the World Anti Doping Agencies, Anti-Doping Code, Bridget Walter has taken on the role of the IDBF Anti-Doping Commissioner and has set up the IDBF Elite Pool of Athletes, for out of competition testing. Changes at the top of the sporting world tree has seen a new IOC President and a new Sportaccord President elected, with Thomas Bach taking over as the IOC President and Marcus Vizer succeeding Hein Verbruggen at the helm of Sportaccord. Looking forward to 2014 and the Year of the Horse, the Asian Nations Championships will be held in Macau and then the world’s best Dragon Boaters will compete in a new and exciting event, the IDBF World Cup, which will be held in China, in June. In July the Czech Republic will host the European Nations Championships and in September the world’s best paddlers will return to Europe for the Club Crew World Championships in Ravenna, Italy. With the Breast Cancer Survivors holding their Participatory Festival in Sarasota, USA in October and with many International Races on the IDBF Calendar, there is much Dragon Boating to take part in and enjoy in 2014. 0IOC President knows all about our wonderful Dragon Sport THE STRENGTH OF THE DRAGON 2013 was a year when Dragon Boat Racers went in force to many of the International Races organised by our IDBF Members, Affiliated Festivals & Event Organisers around the world. Paddlers from nearly 50 IDBF Members competed internationally during the year. The World Dragon Boat Racing Championships held in Szeged, Hungary, saw a record number of Countries & Territories competing, with just over 3000 participants from 28 IDBF Members going to Szeged. Unfortunately, late financial difficulties and visa problems meant that four other Countries did not get to Szeged, a situation that needs to be resolved for future events. Another highlight from the racing year was the EDBF European Club Crew Championships, held in Hamburg, The new IOC President Thomas Bach, meets up with the IDBF EP, where over 1200 paddlers competed. Mike MacKeddie-Haslam, IDBF Treasurer, Alan Van Caubergh (L) and IDBF Vice-President, Claudio Schermi (R) at the recent Sportaccord IDBF Membership reached Seventy-eight in 2013, conference held In Lausanne, Switzerland in early November.
