Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

Does anyone have a list of crew members (names and clubs/cities) of our teams heading to Australia.  I couldn't find anything on Dragon Boat Canada.  Heck, even the Slovakian teams has names, stats, pictures and seating position.

Best of luck at the worlds.

if you look on the website, the premier women have listed their crew members.  They're known to be a GTA based crew

as for premeir mixed/open, its been stated over and over that its a predominantly FCRCC crew.

 The open crew is made up of paddlers primarily from the FCRCC A crew with a few from Gorging , Jerico , Mayfair (TO) ,and a Aussie from the Pacific Dragons ( he has dual citizenship )

 The Mixed is primarily the FCRCC A crew
