U23 World Championships in rowing-Wikipedia

Posted on by

The U23 World Championships in rowing ( English World Rowing Under 23 Championships ) have been annually held by the World Rudder Association since 2005. Previously the events existed as the forerunner Seniors match (1976–1991), Nations Cup (1992–2000) and U23 world regatta ( English World Rowing Under 23 Regatta , 2001–2004), who did not have an official world championship character, but in fact had the rank of one.

The U23 age class (Seniors B) is the only young class in the adult area in rowing. Athletes who do not complete the age of 23 in the current calendar year are eligible to start. [first] After leaving the junior area (U19) due to age (U19), young athletes in this system can fight over four seasons to connect to the top of the world. At the same time, they are already fully in rowing for the open age group (Seniors and) Obstitately, so that they often start in both classes within one year. A start in the open age group, for example at the Rowing World Championships or the Olympic rowing regatta, has no influence on the preservation of the start-up authorization in the U23 age class.

The rowing regatta of the U23 World Championships is typically mostly held in July, occasionally also in August and runs for about five days to a week. Category A regatta routes from the World Rudder Association are considered as competition venues, [first] on which 6 to 8 lanes with Albano system and a starting system are available. The competition distance in all runs is 2000 meters without curves, [first] A maximum of six boats can start at the same time in each rating. If- as usual- more than six reports are received per competition class, a qualification for the six final starting spaces will be carried out as part of the regatta on the first and hope runs as well as semi-finals.

For the U23 World Championships, all national member associations of the World Rudder Association can each report a team of each boat class. [first] All team members must have the nationality of the reporting association. [first] Typically, a national qualification with a selection process or an excretion competition such as national U23 vintage championships is necessary for the selection of the teams. Rowers registered for the U23 World Championships may generally be used in more than one boat class at this event, although this is a rather unusual procedure.

The regatta set of rules is from the Rules of Racing of the world rudder association. [first] The title winners can World Rowing Under 23 Champions (translated about U23 Ruder world champion ) to name.

The selection of the boat classes was historically changed occasionally. The program currently (2018) competitions for women and men, each in the open weight class and lightweight class. [2] Apart from the lack of the competition classes for Pararuderers, the selection of the boat classes at the U23 World Championships is similar to that of the title fights of the open age group:

The regatta format of the U23 World Championships was designed in several evolutionary steps from a previous event that Match of the Four Nations (Four-country competition) was named and demonstrably rored shortly after the Second World War. [3] In her male rowers from Switzerland, France, Belgium and Italy competed against each other in regular country competitions. On July 20, 1975, representatives of these four associations and two other nations met in Italy to consult an international competition for athletes in the “second row”. [4] These should gain under the same trade fairs and experience. The name for the new event was initially too Five nations match (Five-state competition) and Six nations match (Six-country competition) In conversation. Since further nations were increasingly interested in participation, the choice of the name Seniors match . A significant influence in the design of the Seniors match Had the President of the Italian Rowing Association Italian rowing federation Paolo D’Aloja (1931–1984), [5] [6] which made the event a success despite initial resistance on the part of the world rudder association.

In the 1960s and 1970s, further important course in international rowing was made. The Rowing World Championships had initially been installed every four years from 1962, since meanwhile participants from overseas had become a matter of course at the European Rowing Championships. From 1974 World Championships fully replaced the European Championships for more than 30 years every year. Another innovation was the introduction of women’s rowing at the Olympic rowing regatta from 1976 and the consideration of lightweight competitions at the international level. The juniors’ world championships were installed in 1967 and are therefore also a product of that time.

The Seniors match Started in 1976 with competitive classes for men and women of the open weight class. From 1984 [7] Also followed classes for the weight -limited lightweight rudder, which was then on the ups and forth and was also upgraded at the open world championships. With further changes, the number of competitions grew to 21, including seven for men, five for lightweight men, six for women and three for lightweight women. [8] The number of participants in 2015 was over 800 athletes from 51 nations. [9] The strongest participating association is determined by a points and has been honored with the “Paolo d’Aloja Cup” since 1984. [4]

The organization of the event was in the hands of a voluntary general secretary in the first four years until 1979, [4] After that, an international commission was responsible until 2003. The world rudder association took over the regatta, which had long since become de facto world championships, in 2004 and awarded it the status of an official World Cup the following year. From 2017, U23 European Championships will follow rowing championships. [ten]

From 1976 to 2018, all the events of the event took place in Europe. For the first time, the title fights are awarded to non-European organizers for 2019.
