Dragon Boat Race

Learned that at the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro the Dragon Boat competition will be introduced as an Olympic sport. 

Great as I believe that this Chinese traditional sport should have been part of it years ago. 
It is so pure, elegant and stills somehow massive; 20 or more persons in this long narrow boat with it's elegant dragon's head and tail.

These pictures were taken of a race last weekend in Bicol, Philippines:






















The coverage was far from neutral as I am a supporter of the 
Manila Dragons team.
