Also in 1974, Men's lightweight and Women's open weight events were added to the championships. In 1985 Women's lightweight events were added to the schedule. 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 category classes of disability.
