You've seen canoeing in the Simlympics. You've seen rowing in the Simlympics. And you've also seen sailing in the Simlympics. These are the only boating events in the Simlympics so far. But, what if there's a fourth boating event in the Simlympics?

Presenting, Dragon boating!

Originating from China during the pre-Christian era, Dragon boating has been made an international sport by Hong Kong in 1976. For more information on dragon boating, click here.

In the Simlympics, dragon boating can be held in several events as follow:

  • 250m
  • 500m
  • 1000m
  • 2000m


For the venues of dragon boating, it can be held in water bodies like lakes, rivers or the sea. However, the width of the water body about 400 m wide.

So, the sea would be the best venue for dragon boating.

Also, if Tourist City (a city in Raffore Islands) happens to win the rights to host the next Simlympics, dragon boating will be held as an demonstration sport if dragon boating doesn't become an official sport by then.

So what you guys think?

It's great. But it's not even an Olympic sport. ISC will decide though

I know it is not an official Olympics sports, so, if it doesn't becomes an offcial Simlympics sport, at least this can be a demonstration sport, right?

But I hope this becomes an offcial Simlympics Sports.
