How to Follow: 2022 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals

Hot on the heels of the World Rowing Coastal Championships, the 2022 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals will start Friday, 14 October from Pembrokeshire, Great Britain.

The inaugural event took place in 2019 in China, and the third edition of the event will now be hosted in Wales. The format sees a beach start with participants running to their boats on the water’s edge. They then row out around three buoys, slalom-style, for 250m then row back to the beach. The participant then gets out of their boat and sprints up the beach to the finish line.

There are four senior boat classes; Men’s and Women’s Solos (CM1x, CW1x), the Mixed Double Sculls (CMix2x) and the Mixed Coxed Quadruple Sculls (CMix4x+). The programme will also include five Under 19 boat classes; Men’s and Women’s Solos (CJM1x, CJW1x), Men’s and Women’s Double Sculls (CJM2x, CJW2x) and Mixed Double Sculls (CJMix2x).

Schedule:

• 14 October – Time trials and heats for all boat classes
• 15 October – Round 2 for the CM1x and CW1x, and finals for Under 19 Men’s Solo (CJM1x), Under 19 Women’s Solo (CJW1x), Mixed Coxed Quadruple Sculls (CMix4x+) and Mixed Double Sculls (CMix2x).
