The European Rowing Championships is an international Rowing regatta organised by FISA (the International Rowing Federation) for European rowing nations, plus Israel which, though not a member of the European federation is treated as a European nation for competition purposes.〔(ERC Eligibility. )〕 ==History== The first European rowing Championships were held in 1893 and continued under that name until the 1960s. As of 1962, the event was replaced (one year in four) by the World Rowing Championships, which then became an annual event from 1974. Women's events were introduced in 1954, but even then men's and women's events were held on different days. On 27 May 2006 the FISA members voted to re-introduce a separate European Rowing Championships in its own right. In the first event there were only 3 events (men's single, coxed four and eight) and only ten entries. Races were 3,000 m long, except for singles – which were only 2,000 m. In 2007, when the European Rowing Championship was re-introduced, there were 14 Olympic boat classes racing over 2,000m. Historically the leading European nations, notably Great Britain and Germany, had taken a haphazard approach to attending the championships. Following the 2012 Summer Olympics, however, both committed to the event going forward, and from that date, the championships have progressed rapidly to represent one of the key events in world rowing, behind only the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup Series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Rowing Championships」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
