The Kafue River in Zambia faces them allInspired by the confluence of so many pressures and problems on the Kafue River, World Rowing and the WWF are creating an extraordinary multi-purpose facility for world-class water management research and the sport of rowing: The Kafue River & Rowing Centre.
Freshwater researchers from around the world and local stakeholders from industry, agriculture and the local community will use the Centre to conduct research, study problems, find solutions, and share their results, and Zambia will have a high quality Centre to develop the sport of rowing.
We will all be able to visit the Centre “virtually” and interact with the researchers there via the Centre’s website Research will be shared openly, benefitting the world as a whole. The Centre, through its website in effect becomes a delta, distributing the output and benefits of the project to the wider world and inspiring others to create change in their own communities.
The global rowing community will be at the forefront of support for the Centre, and a group of high-profile world-class rowers will be spokes persons to tell the wider world how we all will benefit.
Let’s embark on a truly unique, landmark project. One that engages and empowers the local people, shares ground-breaking research and promotes the sport of rowing to people the world over.
Because to help the Kafue is to help the world.

1. General1.1 Introduction
The European Rowing Championships were staged almost annually from 1893 to 1973. With strong support from national rowing federations in Europe it was reintroduced in 2007. This year marks its tenth year in the reintroduced form.
These championships are open to 46 European national rowing federations, including Israel. The programme consists of the 14 Olympic boat classes plus three International boat classes (lightweight men’s and women’s single sculls and lightweight men’s pair). In 2015, 35 nations took part with nearly 600 athletes. Of those nations, 20 made it to the podium. Great Britain topped the rankings in terms of number of gold medals won (six of the ten medals). Germany took six medals, of which three were gold. France came third with six medals.
A number of crews have won a series of gold medals at the European level in recent years. These include France’s lightweight men’s double sculls of Jeremie Azou and Stany Delayre who claimed gold in 2013, 2014 and 2015; Germany’s men’s eight who have been crowned European Champions annually in the past three years; the Czech Republic’s Mirka Knapkova who, since 2013, has won three consecutive titles in the women’s single sculls.
Great Britain’s Helen Glover and Heather Stanning took gold in the women’s pair in 2014 and 2015, breaking the winning streak that Romania perpetuated in this boat class from 2008 to 2013. In 2015, Romania’s eight-year dominance in the women’s eight was brought to an end by Russia. In the lightweight men’s four, Denmark won gold in 2013 and 2014 with Switzerland at the front of the field in 2015.
Other memorable series of wins include Ukraine’s women’s quadruple sculls dominating the field from 2007 to 2012 as well as Greece’s lightweight women’s double sculls staying at the top of their game from 2007 to 2011.
This year will mark the first time that the European Rowing Championships will be staged before the Olympic Games. In 2008 and 2012 the regatta was after the Olympics. This has stimulated a number of top rowing nations to launch their Olympic season at this regatta. Many of them will introduce their potential Olympic line-ups and there is no doubt that the level of anticipation has been raised.
This is the first time that the European Rowing Championships will take place in Brandenburg, Germany. Lake Beetzsee last staged a World Rowing regatta in 2008 when the German City organised the World Rowing Under 23 Championships.
2016 Media Guide, European Rowing Championships, Brandenburg (GER) 4
The European Rowing Championships is monitored and managed by the European Rowing Management Board (ERMB). Their responsibilities have grown to include the European Rowing Junior Championships (21-22 May 2016, Trakai, Lithuania), the European Indoor Rowing Championships (annually in January) and in 2017 the European Rowing Under 23 Championships will be introduced. In 2018 the European Rowing Championships will take place as part of the inaugural European Championships - a multi-sport event with the rowing regatta taking place in Strathclyde, Scotland.
This media guide has been designed to bring the essential information together in one useful place. As well as practical information about the regatta, there is statistical coverage of past regattas, a race-by-race ‘Who to Watch’ which includes highlighted athletes and an easy guide to finding further information.
To you, the media, we wish to extend a warm welcome to Lake Beetzsee. We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm in our sport and as the suppliers of rowing information to the world we want to help you have a great experience. World Rowing welcomes any feedback on the services provided as we endeavour to make your experience a positive one.

1.4 Current season summary
The 2016 international rowing season is one regatta old. In Varese last month, World Rowing Cup I got this Olympic year season underway.
At Varese rowers from 47 nations raced for World Cup medals and points in this first of the series of three World Rowing Cups. Overall 20 countries got medals including the Netherlands who topped the medals chart with seven medals. The Dutch scored three golds including both the men’s and women’s eights. For the women it meant beating world bronze medallists, Canada to the line. For the men, the Dutch finished ahead of Italy and Poland. The third gold came in the lightweight women’s single sculls. The 2015 World junior champion, Marieke Keijser beat Canada and Italy to the line. There were also three silvers for the Dutch. They came in the women’s double sculls, the women’s quadruple sculls and the men’s pair with last year’s fourth-place finishers, Roel Braas and Mitchel Steenman finishing behind Great Britain’s Matthew Tarrant and Nathaniel Reilly-O’Donnell.
Poland was second on the medals table with five medals including gold in the women’s quadruple sculls and double sculls. Croatia was third and South Africa fourth.
The small but powerful South African squad showed their strength in small boats by medalling in both the men’s and women’s pair as well as the lightweight men’s and women’s double sculls. This included putting the 2014 World Champions from the lightweight men’s double, James Thompson and John Smith, back into the gold medal spot.
The women’s single sculls took racing to a new level with a very tight finish seeing Canada’s Carling Zeeman earn gold. The multiple Olympic and World Champion, Ekaterina Karsten of Belarus was the silver medallist and Olympian Sanita Puspure of Ireland got the bronze.
The men’s single sculls saw a dominating performance by Croatia’s Damir Martin. Martin easily held off the formidable Angel Fournier Rodriguez of Cuba who had to settle for silver. Relative newcomer to the single sculling scene, Hannes Obreno of Belgium was third.
The 2015 World Champions in the lightweight men’s four, Switzerland finished back on top in the four. They raced a domineering race that saw them finish with a clear water lead over China and the United States. The Chinese won four medals overall including finishing first and second in the lightweight women’s double sculls.
Overall the Netherlands earned to highest number of World Rowing Cup points with 51. Poland was second on 38 and South Africa was third with 28 points.
Great Britain and Germany, who regularly poll high on the World Cup points table, chose to send small teams to Varese and so were under-represented.

2.4 Who to watch
Women’s Pair (W2-)
Undefeated this quadrennial and owners of the World Best Time, the women’s pair of Helen Glover and Heather Stanning from Great Britain will be the frontrunners in this event - their first international breakout for the 2016 season.
Other crews to look out for include Denmark’s Hedvig Rasmussen and Anne Andersen who finished fourth at the World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette. They will be racing for the first time this season.
Laura Oprea of Romania is one of the stars of the Romanian women’s squad. She qualified the pair for the Olympics from seventh place last year at the Worlds and in Brandenburg she will race with new partner Madalina Beres. Oprea has already medalled twice in the pair at the European Rowing Championships.
Look out too for Olympic qualifiers Germany, Kerstin Hartmann and Kathrin Marchand, who recently finished fourth at World Rowing Cup I, as well as Russia who have yet to qualify for Rio but made the final in Varese.

Event Information
Men’s Pair (M2-):
Great Britain and Serbia are respectively the 2015 world silver and bronze medallists, which puts them in the spotlight. The British line-up, however, is different from last year’s and also different from the crew that won gold in Varese at World Rowing Cup I. In Brandenburg, Alan Sinclair and Stewart Innes will sit inside the boat instead.
Serbia’s crew of Milos Vasic and Nenad Bedik has remained intact. But Vasic and Bedik only managed a seventh place at World Rowing Cup I, so their performance will be closely monitored.
Instead watch out for the Netherlands. They are sending the same crew of Roel Braas and Mitchel Steenman that finished fourth at 2015 World Rowing Championships and then at World Rowing Cup I, they won silver.
Coming onto the scene for the first time this season are the two-time Olympic medallists from France, Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelette. In 2012 they won silver in the men’s pair and in 2008 bronze in the men’s four. Last year at the World Rowing Championships they qualified their boat for Rio thanks to an eighth-place finish. Look out too for Russia, who will likely try and qualify for the Olympics later this season, as well as Spain, who have already qualified. Both boats made the final at World Rowing Cup I.

Women’s Double Sculls (W2x):
Two of the World Championship medalling crews in the women’s double sculls will line up in Brandenburg – Greece, the silver medallists and Germany, the bronze medallists. Both nations have the same athletes on board at the European Rowing Championships: Aikaterini Nikolaidou and Sofia Asoumanaki for Greece and Julia Lier and Mareike Adams for Germany.
Look out too for 2013 World and European Champions from Lithuania, Donata Vistartaite and Milda Valciukaite. They finished fifth last year at the worlds and in recent years regularly feature on the podium and in the A-final.
Poland though, may be the crew to beat. Magdalena Fularczyk and Natalia Madaj finished fourth last year at the World Rowing Championships and were world silver medallists together in 2014. In Varese last month, they won gold. Fularczyk is also a World Champion in this event from 2009 and won Olympic bronze in 2012 with her former partner.

Men’s Double Sculls (M2x):
All eyes will turn to Croatia’s superstars, the Sinkovic brothers, Martin and Valent when this boat class takes to the water. Not only do they demonstrate beautiful synchronised rowing, but they are also the 2014 and 2015 World Champion crew and also own the World Best Time. They have already raced this season, winning gold at World Rowing Cup I in Varese.
Lithuania’s 2013 and 2015 world silver medallists, Rolandas Mascinskas and Saulius Ritter will keep the field on their toes, while Germany’s Marcel Hacker and Stephan Krueger will be another top crew to look out for.
Also lining up are Hugo Boucheron and Matthieu Androdias from France, finalists at last year’s World Rowing Championships, as well as the British duo of John Collins and Jonathan Walton who finished eighth at the 2015 World Champs.
Keep an eye out for Norway’s Kjetl Borch and Olaf Tufte. Tufte is a two-time Olympic Champion in the men’s single sculls and has joined Borch this season potentially with Olympic aspirations. They rowed together to fourth at last month’s World Rowing Cup I.

Men’s Four (M4-):
Great Britain are the 2015 world bronze medallists in this event. At these European Rowing Championships they are lining up a new crew, with four athletes hailing from Great Britain’s World Champion men’s eight: Alex Gregory, Mohamed Sbihi, George Nash and Constantine Louloudis. A top performance is expected as these athletes are the cream of British men’s rowing.
Checking out the British will be 2015 World Championship finalist nations Germany and the Netherlands who will line up the same crews in Brandenburg as the ones that rowed at the World Champs. The Netherlands won bronze a few weeks ago behind the United States and Italy at World Rowing Cup I in Varese.
Denmark’s famed lightweight men’s four will be racing in the open weight category in Brandenburg, while the Czech Republic, Spain and France will line up crews that have yet to qualify for Rio.

Women’s Single Sculls (W1x):
Five of the 13 female single scullers entered have qualified for Rio. Mirka Knapkova from the Czech Republic, the reigning Olympic Champion and 2015 silver medallist, is expected to lead the field.
Look out too for Swiss sculler Jeannine Gmelin who qualified for the Olympics thanks to fifth-place finish at last year’s Worlds and she ranked fourth at World Rowing Cup I in Varese a few weeks ago.
Ireland’s Sanita Puspure took bronze at World Rowing Cup I and is no doubt hoping to claim one of the three final qualification spots available at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta.

Men’s Single Sculls (M1x):
Four of the 15 crews entered in the men’s single sculls in Brandenburg have qualified for the Rio Olympic Games and topping the list must be the supreme Czech sculler Ondrej Synek. Synek won each of the three World Rowing Championship titles in the men’s single in this current Olympic cycle. Synek also won European Championship gold in 2013 and 2014.
Mindaugas Griskonis from Lithuania was the bronze medallist at last year’s World Rowing Championships and is the 2011 and 2012 European Champion. He will be pushing into the medals at Brandenburg along with Damir Martin, the rising star in single sculling from Croatia. Martin recently won gold at the World Rowing Cup in Varese.
Look out too for Great Britain’s Alan Campbell, the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist and Belgium’s Hannes Obreno, who won bronze in Varese, as well as Robert Ven from Finland who finished fourth at World Rowing Cup I.

Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x):
Approximately half of the boats lining up in Brandenburg in the lightweight women’s double sculls have already qualified for the upcoming Olympic Rowing Regatta. These include 2015 world silver medallists from Great Britain Charlotte Taylor and Katherine Copeland, as well as World Championship finalists from last year, Anne Lolk Thomsen and Juliane Rasmussen from Denmark and Fini Sturm and Marie-Louise Draeger from Germany.
British athlete Copeland was part of the 2012 Olympic Champion boat, while the Danish duo of Thomsen and Rasmussen finished fourth at London 2012. Germany’s Draeger was a finalist in the lightweight double at the 2008 Beijing Games.
Other crews likely to perform well in Brandenburg include Ireland’s Claire Lambe and Sinead Jennings as well as Poland’s Joanna Dorociak and Weronika Deresz.

Lightweight Men’s Double Sculls (LM2x):
In the absence of France and Great Britain (the 2015 gold and silver medallists), Norway looks to be the crew to beat. This is the first major regatta of the 2016 season for Kristoffer Brun and Are Strandli of Norway and being the 2013 World Champions and 2015 bronze medallists looks to put them in good stead against their competition.
Germany will be fielding the young but experienced combination of Moritz Moos and Jason Osborne. Together they finished sixth at the World Rowing Championships last year. The two athletes are the top lightweight single scullers in Germany, with Moos recently finishing ahead of Osborne at the national trials.
Watch out for Ireland. A few weeks ago Gary and Paul O’Donovan of Ireland won silver at the World Rowing Cup in Varese, Italy. Together they qualified their boat for the 2016 Olympic Games at last year’s World Rowing Championships by finishing 11th overall. The confidence they gained from medalling early this season will no doubt serve them well at the European Championships.
Belgium’s Tim Brys and Niels Van Zandweghe will be lining up again in Brandenburg after winning bronze in Varese. Watch out too for the Netherlands, Spain and Denmark who were all finalists at World Rowing Cup I. These crews have yet to qualify for the Olympic Games and will be aiming to show off their potential to any likely contenders.

Lightweight Men’s Four (LM4-):
The reigning World and European Champions, Switzerland is lining up in Brandenburg. And this crew is off to a good start already this season. They won gold at the World Rowing Cup in Varese, Italy.
Denmark, the 2015 world silver medallists and also the World Champions from 2013 and 2014, will be racing in Brandenburg in the open weight men’s four so will not challenge Switzerland. Instead it will be up to the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic to push Switzerland. These three nations were all finalists in Varese. Germany has yet to qualify for Rio 2016 and in the lead-up to the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta they are building up valuable racing experience.

Three of the crews entered have qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games through last year’s World Rowing Championships: Germany who won silver, the Netherlands who won bronze and Poland who finished fourth.
At World Rowing Cup I, Poland and the Netherlands won gold and silver respectively, with Ukraine taking bronze and Great Britain finishing in fourth position. These crews will challenge each other again in Brandenburg. Ukraine and Great Britain have yet to qualify for Rio and they must be using the European Championships as part of their preparation for the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta later this month.

Men’s Quadruple Sculls (M4x):
Germany is the reigning Olympic and World Champions in this boat class and in Brandenburg they will show up with one change to the line-up that won gold last year in Aiguebelette at the World Championships; Tim Grohmann will replace Hans Gruhne in stroke. This is the crew’s first international race of the season.
Look out for Russia. They have yet to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games but they look on track as they won gold at World Rowing Cup I in Varese. Poland, who qualified for Rio thanks to a seventh-place finish at the Worlds last year, took bronze in Varese and will aim just as high in Brandenburg.
Estonia’s 2015 world bronze medallists will also race at the European Rowing Championships after a fourth-place finish in Varese. And Great Britain will line up with one change to the crew that finished fourth at the 2015 World Rowing Championships: Angus Groom comes into the boat instead of Charles Cousins.

Event InformationMen’s Eight (M8+):
Five men’s eights qualified at last year’s World Rowing Championships for the 2016 Olympic Games. In Brandenburg, four of them will line up. This included the World gold and silver medallists - Great Britain and Germany. Thus the German-British men’s eight rivalry will resume for 2016 on Brandenburg’s regatta course.
Getting in on the action will be the Netherlands who won bronze last year and Russia who finished fifth. The Netherlands also took gold last month at World Rowing Cup I and this must have earned them confidence on their path to Brandenburg.
In addition to these crews, the Czech Republic, Spain, Poland and Ukraine will also be lining up. It is likely that these crews are all hoping to take one of the two remaining qualification spots later this month at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in May.

Filippi Spirit Award 2016The Filippi Spirit Award encapsulates rowing’s core values – teamwork, fairness, natural, inclusive and enduring – and recognises the achievements of our next generation of rowers. It is open to university rowers worldwide and will be awarded to the rower that best demonstrates the core values of rowing in his/her social, academic and sporting life.
Formerly known as the Parmigiani Spirit Award, Filippi Boats became the main sponsor in 2016, marking the fourth year of the award.
Filippi has been involved in the award since its inception with the winner receiving a custom-built, top-of-the-range Filippi eight racing shell, so it was a natural progression for the boatbuilding company to step up to become the main sponsor.
A call for nominations for the 2016 Filippi Spirit Award will be in September 2016. To qualify, applicants must have attended university in the 2016 year. Nominations will close in November with the winner being announced in early 2017.
Previous winners:
2013 James Cook British student-athlete studying mechanical engineering at the University College of London.
2014 Franz Gravenhourst German national team rower and PhD student at Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, SUI.
2015 Kirsten Van Fossen American PhD student studying engineering at the University of Cambridge, GBR.
