In western Indonesia, rowers with colourful oars compete in long boats, paddling hard for crowds that have grown due to a young boy who became famous for dancing at the front of the boats.
The annual Pacu Jalur race on Sumatra island saw several thousand spectators this year because of dance moves from 11-year-old Rayyan Arkan Dikha.
A 20-second clip of Rayyan dancing on the boat has racked up millions of views online. Sports stars, including Formula One’s Alex Albon and MotoGP’s Marc Marquez, imitated his moves in their own videos.
Pacu Jalur dates back to the 17th century, when residents would transport goods and people using wooden boats.
The boat evolved to be used for races. The boat dancer stands at the front of the boat to motivate the rowers.
