世界首届冰上龙舟锦标赛周三在内蒙古锡林郭勒盟多伦开赛。
Over 300 participators from 23 countries and regions will compete in the three-day championship that features 12-men, five-men and four-men ice dragon boat racing2 over 100 and 200 meters.
A lot of participators are beginners in ice dragon boat racing, although they are veterans in the dragon boat.
"I've played dragon boat racing for over 20 years, but to play the ice dragon boat is the first time. It's harder and needs more strength, but it's quite exciting," said Volker Briel from Germany.
The cold weather caused some trouble to Pei Rong and her teammates from Singapore, as the temperature dropped to minus 25 degrees Celsius3.
"We are used to playing dragon boat racing, and ice dragon boat is quite different, as we need to push the pike into the ice to move the boat forward," said Pei.
