"This is Sydney Lunar New Year Dragon Boat Festival here in Sydney Darling Harbour. It's a fantastic event. We will have over 3,500 paddlers across the weekend. It's inspired by traditional Chinese event, but we absolutely put some Australia's twist on it. What I think Australian like this sport, it's a sport for everybody. Everyone in the boat contributes, just as much as everybody else. And there is no one person as a superstar. Everybody needs to chip in to be successful."
