The World Rowing Indoor Championships will take place over two days while the Coastal Championships and Beach Sprints Finals will span over two consecutive weekends. The exact competition dates are yet to be set.
“After the growth and success of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 World Rowing Indoor Championships and after a virtual event in 2021, we are looking forward to staging the event in these iconic cities,” says FISA President Jean-Christophe Rolland.
The World Rowing Coastal Championships combined with the Beach Sprint Finals – with rowers able to participate in both events – will expand to new locations in 2022 and 2023. The competition will take place along the shores of the Irish and Mediterranean Sea, in the two coastal towns of Saundersfoot, Wales and then in Sabaudia in Central Italy.
