The World Rowing Championships, set for August in Slovenia, have been cancelled. Fisa, the world governing body, stated that the decision was made “based on the current advice from the World Health Organisation and taking into account the responsibility of our community on limiting the amount of inter-continental travel”.
The Championships would have featured senior non-Olympic events along with Under-23 and Junior events.
The huge World Masters Regatta, set for September in Austria, and the Beach Sprints finals have been postponed until next year.
