From 13th to 23rd June of 2018, for the development of Para-rowing in Asia, 2018 ARF Para-rowing Training Camp was held in Chungju city, Korea.
In this camp, 13 para-rowing athletes and coaches participated. Besides the daily training on water and ergo, competitions on water and ergo were also held in order to prepare for the para rowing events in 2018 Asian Cup II.
Doctor Mikio, Chair of ARF Sports Medicine Committee and Doctor Han, Chair of Para Rowing Committee delivered a lecturer on Sports Medicine and Anti-Doping Control for participants of ARF Junior Training Camp and ARF Para Rowing Training Camp in the morning of 23rd June 2018.
