SOUNDBITE (English): JYRKI LUOMALA, Finnish entrepreneur
"I'm happy to say that I've been already five times in the dragon boat world championships. My name is Jyrki Luomala. I was born in Finland. Today we have a fantastic job to do. We have to pick up our 80-man boat. And this ceremony is called Qilong. Really nice thing. Every time when we are cleaning our big boat, it's actually a really happy day. Qilong is bringing prosperity and well-being for the people and the nation. This is my third year now to do this with the local dragon boat team. I love the dragon boating, and especially our teammates. They are happy, funny guys. But at the same time, good athletes. We've been training already. We're getting stronger and stronger. I think it will be good."
