Striving for the Best
Hong Kong Intervarsity Rowing Championship

Rowing has long been one of the most popular sports among local tertiary students. The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong started a rowing contest 12 years ago. Now, all local universities students can take part in it. Every participant strived for their best in the race. Victory is important, yet the spirit and the fun involved also matters.
