World Rowing Under 23 Championships Record Entries Racing in Poznan, Poland
The 2025 World Rowing Under 23 Championships, July 23-27, have attracted record entries in the men’s and women’s eights—14 and 10 countries, respectively—in Poznan, Poland. Germany and Italy have each entered crews in 17 of the 18 events contested, including Para rowing PR3 U23 men’s and women’s single sculls. Nearly 700 athletes from 53 nations will compete over five days of racing.
The U.S. has entered nine crews, including men’s and women’s eights and coxless fours. Canada has entered five crews: men’s and women’ eights and pairs, plus a women’s coxless four.
The University of Texas has 14 student-athletes competing at the under-23 worlds, the most of any NCAA program. The University of Washington men and women combined—men race in the IRA, women in the NCAA—have 15 Huskies, racing for six different nations, at the regatta.
“It’s great to see so many of our athletes racing for their national teams this summer,” Texas head coach Dave O’Neill said. “Texas athletes make up a significant portion of the squad for many countries. They’re racing in a variety of boat classes and will go head-to-head in a few occasions. I wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them on campus next month.”
Racing began on Wednesday, July 23 and runs through the weekend, with A finals on Saturday and Sunday.
