Fisa, the world governing body of rowing, have called off all international events through March, April and May. This move, made because of the growing reach of Covid-19, means that World Cup Three and the Olympic Qualification Regatta, both scheduled for in Lucerne in Switzerland in May, have been abandoned. Both events were part of the programme for the Ireland squad.
The governing body said in a statement that “solutions are being sought” as to how the line-up for the Olympic Games will be finalised.
