The World Rowing Championships regatta is the biggest FISA event and the most important of the season for us rowers. It is held at the end of the season. The regatta is held over eight days using a progression system from heats through to finals and ensuring that there is sufficient rest time between boat classes for the athletes.

The clock is ticking in Ottensheim: 25.8. – 1.09.2019
2000 athletes are looking forward to the grand opening of the 2019 World Rowing Championships. Meanwhile, the regatta venue Linz-Ottensheim has turned into a big construction site as you see on their website:
The City of Linz, many helpful hands and the organizers are dedicating their time to this event. “The partly covered grandstands with 2200 seats have started to take shape. Bernd Schuhmacher, Managing Director of the Organizing Committee is strictly supervising all preparations for the 2019 World Rowing Championships.

The green meadows in the surrounding area are still empty. Soon they will be covered by team tents from 80 nations. Also, a warm-up tent for 25 rowing machines will be set-up there. Bernd Schuhmacher is satisfied: “Everything is in time. This is going to be a gigantic event.”
Also, the passage between the regatta course and the Danube will be closed for the World Championships. “A temporary bridge will lead the spectators to a second grandstand on the opposite shore,” so Schuhmacher”. We are looking forward to see all this new design.
