Team Austria was among the favourites... We were all up early, standing and waiting at Central ferry pier to be picked up by our team junk boat at 6:30am!! to do some warm up paddling before the big race day. Unfortunately our junk captain was sleeping good and arrived several 10 minutes late around 8:30am!! We missed our first race. Our chance to compete in the finals were gone. However, the one race we had left in the qualifications (at 3:30pm!!) we rowed like an orchestra on ecstasy, in such a rhythm and power that we finished on the podium on 3rd position after leading the group of dragon boats over 3/4 of the distance ;))) I can tell you, far from our expectations ;)
