THE International Canoe Federation (ICF) sanctioned the ICF Dragon Boat World Championships set October 27 to November 4 in Puerto Princesa City as a qualifier for the 2025 World Games.
Members of the national dragon boat team are in full harness for the International Canoe Federation Dragon Boat World Championships set later this month.
Dragon boat will make its debut at the World Games’ 12th edition in Chengdu, China, from August 7 to 17 further encouraging Puerto Princesa City, led by Mayor Lucilo Bayron, to put its best foot forward as host and co-organizer. Escollante said that 10 teams from the Puerto Princesa City worlds will qualify for the World Games based on their cumulative times in the mixed team small boat or 10-seater category in the 200, 500 and 2,000 meters races set on Sulu Sea overlooking the well-managed Puerto Princesa City Baywalk.
“It’s an honor for Puerto Princesa to host an event of this magnitude,” Bayron said. “This is a significant challenge for us, but once we get started and achieve success, it means that organizing and hosting larger events will become much easier for us.”
