2008 Final Olympic Qualification Regatta to be held in Poznan
(POL) instead of Lucerne (SUI)
FISA, the International Rowing Federation, today announced
that next year’s final Olympic qualification regatta
and Final Rowing World Cup regatta has been moved to take
place in Poznan, Poland instead of Lucerne, Switzerland. The
second Rowing World Cup regatta will now take place in Lucerne.
The change is due to clashes with other events taking place
in the local and national calendars in both locations.
The 2008 Rowing World Cup programme has therefore
been confirmed as follows:
Rowing World Cup I – 9 to 11 May 2008 – Munich,
Germany – NO CHANGE

Switzerland
Final Olympic Qualification Regatta: 15 to 18 June 2008 –
