SJM has long supported the promotion and development of this event, serving for many years as one of the organizers and helping to elevate the races from a local festivity into a globally recognized competition.

This year, building on this legacy, SJM has also taken on the title sponsorship of the “SJM 2025 Association Cup Small Dragon Boat Races” for the first time, further underscoring its continued commitment to advancing the sport, fostering community spirit and strengthening dragon boat’s role as a powerful medium for sharing the “Chinese story” with the world.

In the 2,000-meter Pursuit Races, SJM Golden Lotus secured third place in the Women’s Category, while SJM Prosperous claimed second place in the Open Category. On the following day, in the 200-meter races, SJM Jubilee delivered a steady performance in the Mixed Category and finished as runner-up.

SJM said it will in future continue to broaden its support for sporting initiatives, promoting dragon boat and other events on the international stage while enriching Macau with more diverse cultural, sporting and tourism experiences.
