Luo Zhongyi, President of the International Ice Dragon Boat Federation,
performed the "dragon eye-dotting" ritual for the dragon boats
The competition attracted 20 teams and nearly 400 athletes from all over the country, covering provinces such as Heilongjiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hainan, Yunnan, Jilin, Liaoning, Henan, Inner Mongolia, and Shandong. Athletes gathered in Harbin to participate in the 12-person ice dragon boat, 5-person ice dragon boat, 100m and 200m straight races, and the 300m drift and return race, jointly demonstrating the speed and passion of ice dragon boat sports.
At the referee's order, dragon boats rushed out of the starting line like arrows off the string, competing fiercely on the 30-
centimeter-thick ice. During the competition, the neat and uniform shouts of the athletes resounded through the sky; hundreds
of paddles moved in unison, splashing ice shards everywhere. The collision between the ice paddles and the ice surface created
a battle song, driving the dragon boats to gallop on the ice.
The 2024-2025 Ice Dragon Boat Super League not only adds a unique activity to the winter tourism of Heilongjiang Province but also creates a distinctive urban sports IP for Harbin. As an emerging mass ice and snow sports event, ice dragon boat reflects the trend of ice and snow sports moving towards fun and popularization in the post-Winter Olympics era. It can attract more tourists to understand and experience Harbin, making the city glow with new vitality.
Starting from December 28, 2024, the 2024-2025 Ice Dragon Boat Super League will be successively held in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, and Inner Mongolia. At that time, the event organizing committee sincerely invites citizens and tourists to watch the competition and witness the development and growth of China's ice dragon boat sports. This year's Ice Dragon Boat Super League will bring more intense competitions and surprises, which are believed to leave unforgettable memories for the participating teams and the audience.
