On May 26, at Huaxiang Greenland Park, Xinhong Street, Minhang District, the 2024 "Xinhong Cup" Yangtze River Delta Canoe and Paddleboard Invitational Tournament started "hotly". The event attracted more than 300 water sports enthusiasts from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other Yangtze River Delta regions to gather in Dahongqiao to experience the charm of water sports in the "wave chasing".

At 10 o'clock this morning, the opening ceremony officially began. Intangible cultural heritage Duzhu Diao performers from Guizhou were specially invited to present a unique fancy bamboo dance. I saw them standing on single bamboos, holding bamboo poles horizontally, dancing on the water, moving freely, which is amazing. Their difficult performance won bursts of applause from the audience.

As one of the 175 international and domestic sports events held in Shanghai in 2024, the 2024 "Xinhong Cup" Yangtze River Delta Canoe and Paddleboard Invitational Tournament is guided by the Shanghai Sports Federation and organized by the Shanghai Social Sports Management Center, Minhang District Sports Co-sponsored by the Bureau, Xinhong Street Party Working Committee and Office.

This invitational competition has a rich and diverse set of categories, breaking through the traditional setting of water sports competitions. It not only distinguishes professional groups and amateur groups according to different levels of athletes, but also specially adds a parent-child group, making the participants of the competition more diverse. .

What’s more worth mentioning is that in addition to the 1,000-meter sprint around the mark for each event, there is also a 200-meter paddle board obstacle challenge in the professional category. Mr. Wu, an athlete who participated in the men's 200-meter paddle board obstacle challenge in the professional category, said that when the event information was first released, he noticed the difference in the event settings this year and thought it was very novel, so he signed up to participate in the 200-meter paddle board obstacle challenge. I look forward to making different breakthroughs on the field.

As the referee's competition call sounded, the parent-child double kayak competition kicked off first. Parents and their adorable children chased and rowed amidst laughter and laughter, adding a lively and joyful color to the event. Compared with the pleasant atmosphere of the parent-child group, the competition in the professional group is full of challenges. For example, in the 200-meter paddleboard obstacle course, competitors are required to pass through arches and obstacles arranged on the track in order.

On the field, the athletes fully displayed their skills and strived to pass every obstacle quickly and steadily. The rippling blue lake surface staged a "speed and passion" scene, which made the audience happy and excited.

In order to enhance the participants' experience, the organizers divided the event site into a water competition area and a shore activity area. The shore activity area is equipped with interactive game links such as land rowing machines, quick eyes and quick hands, and power generation for love, so that contestants will not feel bored while waiting for the competition, and can enjoy interactive games that interest them.

“This event was great. I originally planned to take my children out to play kayaking on the weekend. I didn’t expect there was an interactive game area. We had a great time today. I hope we can participate in such a colorful competition next time. "Ms. Wu, a canoeing participant in the parent-child group, said excitedly.

According to reports, in recent years, Xinhong Street has relied on its unique geographical location and developed water resources to create a high-level sports event brand and a dynamic waterfront activity belt that serves a variety of people. The successful holding of the 2024 "Xinhong Cup" Yangtze River Delta Canoe and Paddleboard Invitational Tournament has created an open, rich and diverse waterfront sports platform in the Hongqiao Business District. Using water as the medium, the event will attract traffic and bring about a large-scale event. Hongqiao sports new craze and new fashion.
