World Rowing Championships

History Of World Rowing Championships

The World Rowing Championships is an international rowing regatta organized by FISA (the International Rowing Federation). It is a week-long event held at the end of the northern hemisphere summer and in non-Olympic years is the highlight of the international rowing calendar.

History:

The first event was held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1962.

1974-The event then was held every four years until 1974, when it became an annual competition. Also in 1974, Men's lightweight and Women's open weight events were added to the championships. 

1985-In 1985 Women's lightweight events were added to the schedule.

1996-Since 1996, during (Summer) Olympic years, the Junior World Rowing Championships are held at the same time.

In 2002 adaptive rowing events were introduced for the following classes of disability:

• LTA (legs, trunk and arms)
  
• TA (trunk, arms)
  
• A (arms-only)
  

2009-In 2009 the A category was replaced by AS (arms and shoulders), and an ID (intellectually disabled) category was added (but then removed after the 2011 Championships).
