It's been a fun, yet tough EuroCup weekend for the entire UAE Dragon Boat community and the international participants, before closing the year. Every heat resolute to advance to the Finals...Every podium earned with the will to make all hard work pay off.
Special core moment was the last day, 2km awarding, where our GLADies, the sole UAE team amongst the German and Russian teams, received the recognition for being the 3rd fastest women crew in the long distance race 🤗💪
Salute to all the teams especially the winners. And thank you to the organizers for making this event possible. Happy Holidays! See you all in 2026 🫡

In the waters of Doha, we learned what it means to give everything we have and still reach for more....
Our first dragon boat race in Doha, felt like stepping into the unknown, waves we’ve never met, teams we’ve never faced, and a battle we could only win by believing in each other....🐲🐲🐲
🥉🥈🥇 may rest on our hands today, but the true reward lives in the moments we pushed past our limits, held our breath through the pain, and trusted the rhythm of one heartbeat shared by many....
⚔️ Humbled....Grateful... We are Glad!..⚔️
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
.............................
Congratulations to all the winners!..
