China News Agency, Shanghai, September 26 (Reporter Miao Lu) On September 26, news came from the International Rowing Federation Congress being held in Prague, Czech Republic, that the 2025 World Rowing Championships will be held in Shanghai.
The World Rowing Championships is an international rowing competition organized by the International Rowing Federation, which is an international major event in the rowing project.
In October 2017, at the International Rowing Federation Congress held in the United States, Shanghai won the right to host the 2021 Rowing World Championships with unanimous votes, but it was ultimately not held due to the epidemic.
Shanghai is the cradle of Chinese rowing.
Rowing originated in England in the 17th century. In October 1859, overseas rowing enthusiasts spontaneously held the first rowing competition in Shanghai's history on the Suzhou River in Shanghai. After that, the Shanghai Rowing Club was established.
