More Olympic Event Reorganisation

Published Sun 25 Jul 2021

Wednesday is now the day to down tools and watch the racing.  All the Australian crews will race on Wednesday.

Monday racing was brought forward to today as previously advised and now Tuesday racing has been pushed forward to Wednesday. There is no racing on Monday or Tuesday.

The official notification is as follows:

Based on the weather forecasts received from the Tokyo2020 Olympic Games weather services, adverse weather is expected on Tuesday 27 July 2021 which would bring high winds and strong gusts creating unequal and potentially unrowable racing conditions.

The World Rowing Executive Committee has reviewed the options in Rule 63 and following consultations with IOC, Tokyo2020 Organising Committee and OBS have decided to make the following changes, which have now been approved:
1. Final As and Final Bs for M4x and W4x have been moved from Tuesday 27 July to Wednesday 28 July.
2. Semifinals for LM2x, LW2x, M2- and W2- have been moved from Tuesday 27 July to Wednesday 28 July.
3. Semifinals CD for M1x and W1x, Final C for LM2x and LW2x have been moved from Tuesday 27 July  to Thursday 29 July.
4. Semifinals for W1x and M1x have been moved from Wednesday 28 July to Thursday 29 July.
5. Finals D, E and F for W1x and M1x have been moved from Thursday 29 July to Friday 30 July.

 

The changes have been made to ensure that there is least possible disruption to the originally scheduled Final As.

The revised schedule for Wednesday can be found through this link.
