Description
The annual week-long rowing regatta was organized by FISA (the International Rowing Federation). In non-Olympic years the regatta is the highlight of the international rowing calendar; as 2015 was a pre-Olympic year, the championships were also the main qualification event for the following year's Olympics and Paralympics.[3][4]
For the first time, Rowing New Zealand started in all (14) Olympic boat classes.[5]
