Without access to snow nor ice, the Philippine dragonboat team had to train on the murky Pasig river filled with water lilies.
The alternative preparation worked as the Filipino paddlers picked up two bronze medals in the 1st World Ice Dragon Boat Championships in Dolon Nor, China, which lured 25 countries.
Defying the frigid atmosphere, the 12-man Philippine contingent placed third in the 200-meter mixed 10-seater category, 48.34 seconds behind gold winner Russia (44.99) and silver medalist Hungary (47.48).
