Organisers of the World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Belarus have announced an increase in competitors for this year’s event.
More than 880 athletes from 57 nations have confirmed participation in the championships, which take place in Brest from July 22 to 25. In 2009, 830 athletes from 56 countries were present.
Formerly known as the Nation's Cup and the Match des Séniors, this is the sixth year that the event has had ‘World Rowing Championship’ status. It started in 1976 with 11 nations and 65 rowers taking part.
The event acts as a stepping stone for athletes on their way to the elite level.
Germany and USA will bring the largest teams to Belarus, each with 69 athletes competing in 21 boats.
