World Rowing Championships 2017

The 2017 World Rowing Championships took place from September 24 to October 1, 2017 near Sarasota in the US state of Florida on an artificial regatta course in Nathan Benderson Park .

26 competitions were held at the championships, twelve of them for men, nine for women and five for par-rowers of both sexes. One team per competition class from all member associations of the World Rowing Association was eligible to participate . There was no qualification regatta, around 900 rowers from 69 different nations were registered.

The regatta course in Nathan Benderson Park was the first venue for an important international rowing championship. It was built in a former sand pit. About two weeks before the start of the World Championships, Hurricane Irma moved across the region with wind strengths of category 1 to 2 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale , but it did not cause any substantial damage to the regatta course. The arrival of the teams and especially the rowing boats was delayed by a few days. During the world championships, the weather was largely tropical with temperatures above 30 ° C and high humidity.

The first world championships of the new Olympic cycle were marked by numerous upheavals. There are many young rowers among the participants, as Olympic participants from the previous year ended their careers or took a break. The program of the competitions held had also been changed due to the adaptation of the Olympic competitions . In the now no longer Olympic lightweight foursome , only six teams registered, and the lightweight two-man without was only moderately popular with eight boats. In the now Olympic women's foursome in the open weight class, twelve teams registered, twice as many as four years earlier.

In the area of ​​para rowing, the names of the competitions have been changed. The AS classes (movement from arms and shoulders) are now designated with PR1, the TA classes (movement from arms and upper body) with PR2, and the LTA classes (complete body can be used) with PR3. Since the Paralympic distance for all classes from 2020 will be 2000 meters as in the Olympic Games, all paralympic classes at World Championships starting in 2017 will also be held over this distance.

Results

The medal winners from the A finals are listed here. These were manned by six boats, which had to qualify for the finals through pre-run and hope runs as well as quarter and semi-finals. The length of the course was 2000 meters in all races.
