Myanmar just sent its canoe and kayak squad to Thailand for the 33rd Southeast Asian Games. The crew flew out early to get some extra training time at the actual competition venue before things kick off. Coach U Thet Lwin Win says they shipped their boats ahead by container, and the team is pumped to compete against the big dogs like Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
They've got 17 athletes and three coaches ready to race across 10 different events in both canoe and kayak categories. The competitions will go down over three days with various 200-meter and 500-meter races in singles, doubles, four-person teams, and mixed formats. The federation has a solid track record of bringing home medals, and the coach thinks they'll add more hardware to the collection this time around.
