(230623) -- LONDON, June 23, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Team members of Amathus Dragon Boat Club compete during 2023 UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival in Salford, Britain, on June 18, 2023. David Bangs, founder of the Amathus Dragon Boat Club, first became involved with the sport as a paddler in 1988 when he went to China's Fujian Province to compete in an international dragon boat race. "This trip really opened my eyes to the wonders of dragon boat racing and I have been totally committed ever since, wanting to make our boats go even faster than the Chinese," Bangs said. When Bangs returned from his "inspirational trip to China," he founded the Amathus Dragon Boat Club. "Dragon boating is all about working together for your friends and putting your heart and soul into a race. ... You win or lose together. You share that camaraderie together. That's what dragon boat racing to me is all about," Bangs said. (Xinhua/Li Ying)
