World Rowing Championships 1976
The 1976 World Rowing Championships were held from August 10th to 14th, 1976 on Lake Ossiach in Villach , Austria under the rules of the World Rowing Association (FISA). The 14 Olympic boat classes were not used because of the 1976 Olympic rowing regatta in Montreal, so that the rowing world champions were only determined in three non-Olympic lightweight boat classes for men . At the same time, the Junior World Rowing Championships were held on Lake Ossiach .
