A massive haul of gold
It was raining gold for Australia at the 2019 World Dragon Boat Racing Championships held in Thailand during August.
Australia medalled consistently across all age groups and the four Cockburn Dragon Boat Club paddlers in the 50-59 year-old category, Vivienne Wigg, Sharon Corsbie, Richard Marshall and Carlie Byrne, returned home with an amazing haul of 16 gold medals and 12 bronze medals between them.
Club President Carlie Byrne said, “It was a lot of training for five days of competition but when you got there it was all worth it. It was good fun and a good competition but it’s good to get back, share experiences and paddle with friends.”
