MANILA, Philippines — THE Philippine Canoe Kayak Dragonboat Federation and Puerto Princesa City are leaving no stone unturned making sure the 2024 ICF Dragonboat World Championships set Oct. 28 to Nov. 4 will be like no other. For one, PCKDF president Len Escollante said it's the first time a Southeast Asian country is hosting the world event that will bring in competitors from 26 countries with a couple more knocking on the doors. The event also serves as qualifying to the World Games in China next year.
"The paddlers alone, we expect over 1,500. Then we have other delegates. They are all excited to come here because they know that aside from the competition, there will be other things to do in Puerto Princesa and Palawan.," said Escollante in the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
