EVENT DESCRIPTION
The European Rowing Championships are among the oldest pan-continental sporting events and are able to trace their history back to 1893. The event has progressed a long way from its 19th century origins with just three races and all for men.
The European Rowing Championships were staged almost annually from 1893 to 1973, after which they were replaced by the World Rowing Championships. A European Championships event was reintroduced into the international rowing calendar in 2007. In 2013, the championships were moved to an early season spot and have become an integral event for many teams.
The 2023 European Rowing Championships will be hosted this year 25 – 28 May in Bled, Slovenia.
