Imagine the scene you've been practicing for months, it all comes down to this. Six dragons boats spread out across the river, 22 people in each dragon boat, on the water, all waiting for the sound of the horn, all wanting to be first to cross the finish line some 400 meters away.

The horn sounds and a flurry of activity starts. The drummers start pounding on the drums. The splash of paddles hitting water. The boats seem to jump out of the water. Paddlers desperately trying to concentrate on their stroke to pull ahead and win the race.
