World Best Times Announcement

Based on the recommendation of the FISA Athletes Commission, the FISA Council determined that race times recorded on regatta courses with a significant water mass flow will not be considered as World Best Times.

Based on this principle, the race times recorded at the 2005 World Championships in Gifu, Japan will not be considered and the World Best Times up until these Championships will be returned to the record books.

The FISA Council and relevant Commissions will start a study to determine the threshold level of water mass flow for future FISA Events.
