African Rowing Championships

Rowing Championships Africa ( English African Rowing Championships ) are since 1993 as a continental championship event in rowing held.

history

Rowing is only poorly developed in Africa, which is why no continental championships have been held for a long time. The championships were held for the first time in 1993, and since then the competition cycle has been irregular. Up to and including 2019, 13 events had taken place.

description

Organizers of the African Rowing Championships is in Cairo -based African Rowing Federation ( French Fédération Africaine des Sociétés d'Aviron , shortly FASA ) together with a local host. With the FISA Rule Book , however, the rules of the World Rowing Association are largely applied. The African Rowing Association, founded in 1992, has 31 national associations (as of 2019).

The number and selection of competitions held at the African Rowing Championships is subject to regular changes. In contrast to other international rowing events, only few or no large boat competitions ( four or eight ) are offered, as the participating nations are often unable to fill them. Skull classes also dominate the competition. In addition to races for the open age group, some of the events also offered those for senior B (U23 age group) and junior A (U19 age group); a variety of competitions are advertised for lightweight rowers. As is customary in international rowing, the competition distance is 2000 meters on six lanes of a regatta course .

In addition to the African Championships, rowing competitions at the African Games and the African Youth Games are held at irregular intervals on the continental level in Africa , provided that the host location has a suitable regatta course to offer.
