For the first time, a Regular Women's Division has been added to the festival as female rowers have shown strong will and capabilities to participate in the powerful game throughout these years.
Henry Wan has been the chairman of the festival host committee since its inauguration in 1991. He told Xinhua that the festival, which started with only 10 teams, has endeavored to promote Chinese culture in New York through sports and has won great support from local communities.
