It saw three new world records including indoor rowing star Olena Buryak of Ukraine setting a record in the 30-39-year-old women’s race and Christine Cavallo of the United States setting the women’s lightweight record. The inaugural championships attracted over 2,500 participants from 33 countries competing for world championship medals in open, junior, under 23, para and masters events in both openweight and lightweight categories.

    The Rules of Rowing 2021 Edition CONTENTS The Rules of Racing 2021 Referee Procedures Manual 2021 LOC Guidance Manual 2021 2021 Rules Changes The following is a summary of rules changes that will take effect in the 2021 Rules of Racing. Rules Changes Summary 5-301 National Championship Events (*) Remove the specific listing of National Championship regattas to provide flexibility for USRowing to determine which regattas they will run in a given year. 10-201 Adaptive Rowing Sport Classes This change to the sport classes would now align with established classes being tracked for these specific groups of impaired athletes. It will eliminate barriers to the sport by including them from the onset of event planning. Additional subsets can be added at the discretion of the LOC. 10-202 Adaptive Rowing Boat Classes This change allows PR3 (II) to be its own official sport class, not combined with any other subsets of developmental impairments. PR3 (II) meets eligibility requirements and should not be included as a subset boat class. Administrative Changes 1) Replace “INAS” with “Virtus” wherever the term appears since INAS has rebranded as Virtus 2) Replace “PR3-ID” (PR3- Intellectual Disability) with “PR3-II” (PR3-Intellectual Impairment) to align with updated World Rowing (FISA) language.

    Appendix 17 FISA Para-Rowing Classification Regulations the FISA

    Appendix 17 FISA Para-Rowing Classification Regulations The FISA Para-Rowing Classification Regulations are an integral part of the FISA Rules of Racing, related Bye-Laws and Event Regulations, available at www.worldrowing.com. 1. Introduction to Classification 1.1 Classification : An Overview 1.1.1 In accordance with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Classification Code, the term “classification”, as used in these Rules, refers to the process by which Athletes are assessed by reference to the impact of impairment on their ability to compete in the Sport of Para-Rowing. The purpose of Classification is to provide a structure for competition. Classification is undertaken to ensure that an Athlete’s Impairment is relevant to sport performance and to ensure that the Athlete competes equitably with other Athletes. Classification determines the eligibility to compete and groups Athletes for Competition. 1.1.2 The allocation to an Athlete of a Sport Class is determined by a physical and technical assessment of the Athlete, and, if required, Observation in Training and/or Competition. These processes are explained in these Classification Regulations. 1.1.3 A Sport Class will be allocated to an Athlete who has an impairment that is the direct result of a health condition which has resulted in a permanent and verifiable activity limitation. 1.1.4 Following is a list of eligible impairments accepted by FISA Para-Rowing: visual impairment, strength impairment, decreased range of motion, limb deficiency, hypertonia, ataxia, and athetosis. 1.1.5 A Sport Class will be allocated to an Athlete if an Athlete meets the minimum disability to compete as an adaptive rower.
