PART.02
🌟Training with Honesty, Growing with Strength
Rowing is often described as an “honest” sport. There is no shortcut on the water. Every stroke, every push, every rhythm and every moment of focus is reflected directly in the boat’s speed.

Behind these results is the team’s consistent training routine:
weekly on-campus sessions to refine technique and build physical strength, and weekend water training to face real currents, wind conditions, race rhythm, and teamwork challenges.

The stability of rowing comes from daily discipline. Its uncertainty comes from the race itself. Wind, water, timing, coordination and pressure can all change in an instant. This is also what makes rowing such a powerful learning experience.

It teaches students to pursue excellence through steady effort, and to respond with courage when facing the unknown.

PART.03
🌟More Than Medals
The podium in Nanjing was not only a recognition of performance, but also a reflection of growth.

Pan Donghao’s three podium finishes showed the long-term value of persistence and technique.
Wu Luobing’s two silver medals reflected the strength of steady performance.
The team events reminded us that in rowing, progress is never made alone.

Rowing is like an honest teacher. It helps students build self-discipline through training, and teaches them to embrace change through competition. On the water, our students learn that true growth comes from both quiet persistence and the courage to take on new challenges.

Looking ahead, the SUIS Pudong Rowing Team will continue to write their story with oars on water — training with commitment, competing with courage, and rowing towards even greater possibilities.
