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. The 2020 World Rowing Championships will be held in conjunction with the World Junior Rowing Championships and the World Rowing U23 Championships. Rowing takes place in 21 different boat classes, apart from during Olympic years when only non-Olympic boat classes race.
History of World Rowing Championships:
The first event was held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1962. 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. 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.

World Rowing Championships will be held 21 to 23 Jun 2020 in Zuidplas, Netherlands. World Rowing Championships is a leading international rowing regatta organized by FISA (the International Rowing Federation). Just about anyone can row for fun and effective exercise, but world rowing champions tend to be something extraordinary, free and open to all. Coming to the World Rowing Championships will be a great way of getting away from busy life for a few hours or a few days, with friends or with family, to watch rowing of the highest standard in a magnificent and unspoiled corner of the world. Thousands of spectators during the event will line the shores of the lake to join in the excitement, soak up the countryside and enjoy the friendly spirit. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, was a rower, and rowing is the only Olympic team sport to be included in every modern summer Games. World Rowing Championships is an event and I like events...
