The Auroras have returned to Australia after competing at the 13th Asian Championships in Foshan City, Guangdong Province. They did not return empty handed... in fact, the Auroras returned with shiny new bling after a very successful campaign. 

We from CYSM Sea Dragons are immensely proud of Eric Cham, Sue Phung, Katie Nguyen, Yuan Soon and Carlos Diz (pictured above) for competing at the highest level for the dragon boat sport. They were selected into the Auroras team 6+ months ago, and have since poured their hearts out to train for the world championships. Their hard work has finally paid off, with the Auroras team winning 4 Silver and 9 Bronze medals across 18 various racing categories for Australia! 

To see how Australia faired against the rest of the world, check out the below list of medals from each country that placed: 

1. China - 11 Gold

2. Taiwan - 4 Gold

3. Indonesia - 3 Gold

4. Australia - 4 Silver, 9 Bronze

5. Macau - 2 Silver, 2 Bronze

Fantastic job to all the countries that participated in the 13th Asian Championships and fantastic job to our very own Auroras! Now that the competition is over, it is time to pig out on food!
