Rowing world records

Rowing world records

The Rowing World Records are the fastest times set over the international rowing distance of usually 2,000 m. They are believed to be correct as of August 2008.

Indoor records set on the Concept2 indoor rower. Split refers to the average time to complete 500 m (i.e. the 2,000 m time divided by 4).

On Water Records

It is worth noting that rowing times are strongly affected by weather conditions, and to a lesser extent by water temperature - the majority of the these times were set in warm water with a strong tailwind. World best rowing times have also decreased because of improvements in technology to both the boats and the oars, along with improvements in the conditioning of the rowers.

Because environmental conditions have a strong impact on boat speed, FISA, recognizes world best times instead of world records. A world best time is one recorded on a regatta course that has previously held the World Championships, Olympic Games, or World Cup since 1980. A number of record times were set at the 2005 World Championships held on the Nagara River at Kaizu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, but due to a fast current caused by heavy rainfall from the remnants of Typhoon Mawar, FISA declared that the race results were not eligible to be considered as world best times.
