  • They used to be farmers and factory workers in rural China. Now, they are world champions in the sport known as dragon boating.
    Meet the dragon boat “aunties team.” They got their nickname because many of its members are women over the age of 40.
    When they were growing up, women weren’t allowed to touch dragon boats because it was considered bad luck.
    But now, they are beating teams half their age in competitions around the world.

    I was honored to visit there and trained by one of the ladies last year. She had great passion for the sport and patience towards us (inexperienced paddlers).
