If you’ve been following the coverage, you might have heard an absolute travesty has unfolded. The Taranaki Dragons have LOST their beloved mascot, Ted.
Last seen in France for the International Breast Cancer Paddlers Commission Participatory Festival.
Fears for his wellbeing and safety.
DM us if you know more so we can reunite Ted with his DB family 🥺❤️
Race command… come in… can you hear us!?
While the athletes are fighting for medals on the water, these guys are making sure your YouTube feed stays live and that you see every race.
They are the nerve centre of the 15th International Dragon Boat Federation IDBF Club Crew World Champs. And they are doing a hell of a job 👌🔥
🚨The paddle police are out in full force at the IDBF Club Crew World Champs🚨
Over the last few days they've assessed 3 non-compliant paddles that could have had an unfair advantage
Nothing better than having a fellow Queenslander in the box on the other side of the world . Giddy up ! Thank you Woggy for dropping in and putting on the headsets in the commentary Box . ❤️
