Guam's Pacific Games paddling team is going against world's best
Next month's Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands hosts a variety of sporting events – tennis, archery, athletics, boxing, rugby, weightlifting, and much more. And while all noble pursuits, the outrigger canoe races, one of eight events in which Team Guam will compete, is uniquely different.
It's a formidable challenge, because other crews paddle for much more than medals and the glory of representing their homeland – they're honoring tradition, and riding the waves with the strength of their ancestors. And in this sport, we're facing athletes that are the best in the world at what they do.
