The Samsung World Rowing Cup will be staged at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith in 2013 and 2014. The World Rowing Cup events are expected to bring some 800 athletes, officials and media from across the globe during the 21 days of the event.
For the first time ever, Australia will be hosting the opening round of the Samsung World Rowing Cups in 2013 and 2014 at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. This prestigious event will be hosted in conjunction with the Australian Rowing Championships and Interstate Regatta. The dates of the combined regatta are 18-24 March, 2013.
The format of the ‘Festival of Rowing’ will involve a five day National Championships (Monday 18th to Friday 22nd March) with the Interstate Regatta, the morning of Saturday 23rd March. The World Cup (14 Olympic events) will begin with heats on Friday afternoon 22nd , Reps on Saturday afternoon with Finals of the World Cup on Sunday 24th March. In a fantastic development opportunity, the finals of the National Schools Championships events will be included within the Sunday World Cup program. The event is supported by ‘Destination NSW’ and FISA’s major sponsor Samsung, who will provide support to bring to Australia all the medal winning crews in each event from the London Olympics. In addition, Australia will compete with two crews in each of the 14 World Cup events.
In adopting the principle of ‘many hands make light work’, Rowing Australia and Rowing NSW are seeking expressions of interest from individuals in the rowing community (within NSW and from across Australia) who would like assist in the organisation of these two very special regattas in either a Team Leader/Coordinator or Team Member role. There will also be an opportunity to participate in the organisation of Rowing NSW major events in the lead up to the regattas.
Some of the tasks to be undertaken are outlined in the DRAFT organisation chart
