World Rowing Championships 1996

The 1996 World Rowing Championships were held from August 5th to 11th, 1996 on a lake in Strathclyde Country Park near the city of Glasgow , Scotland under the rules of the World Rowing Federation (FISA). The 14 Olympic boat classes were not held because of the 1996 Olympic rowing regatta in Atlanta, so that the rowing world champions were only determined in the 10 non-Olympic boat classes . Because of the small registration field, the world championships were organized together with those of the juniors .

Results
