Very cool words from a Canadian paddling hero.

http://www.intelligencer.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1278984


"When his Olympic career is finished, Hall envisions himself getting heavily involved in dragon boating.

"I've done a lot of it since 2004," he said. "It's a great thing. I've watched it grow from 1996 until now and how popular it is now."

That said, Hall doubts dragon boating will ever become an Olympic sport.

"I don't think so," he said. "They're trying to kick sports out of the Olympics. Adding something like dragon boating would increase costs and add another 30 or 50 people.""

Anyone have his contact? I wouldn't mind recruiting him.

Gary already has him. You are way too late.

He's in with the 22D guys.

who does he race db with?

good article and cool to hear him talking to the db crowd. interesting that he went and trainined on his own...

He raced with verdun and the montreal men at the last race off.

Just thinking about the 1000m gives me shivers.

Way to go Tom!

I want to go on a date with Tom.

Who can hook me up

Your mom

no seriously, I'm single, and love guys who can go hard fo four minutes.

so does your mom

No my mom likes overweight, balding, underachieving, priks like you!

...who can go hard for four minutes

Tsk tsk...such anger.

How do you know I'm overweight, balding and underachieving? I'm actally a fit overachieving prik with a full head of hair and a penchant for razzing sluty groupies.

BOOYAH!!

let's just agree Tom Hall is awesome and we would all like him on our teams. but none of us will ever get him on our teams lol.

I think it's probably safe to say, after reading this thread, Tom Hall is no longer interested in the sport of dragon boating.
