For the first time, the Army boat team brought female paddlers to join the world championships and luckily took the gold in the 500-meter Mixed event and 2,000-meter Small Boat Premier Open Event.

Lt. Col. Jun Patria, team manager, and BGen Joselito Reyes, who is leading the team, both share the joy and excitement of the team.
