Coastal Rowing to debut at 2028 Olympics amid World Championships in China
The Coastal Rowing Beach Sprint World Championships are taking place at Golden Beach in Qingdao, China, featuring approximately 300 athletes. This discipline, which takes place on open waters rather than calm regatta courses, is set to make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
The Beach Sprint format is a high-intensity event lasting between two and a half to three minutes. Athletes sprint from the shore to their boats, navigate a slalom course around buoys, and return to the beach to hit a buzzer at the finish line. Unlike traditional rowing, the sport is characterized by a dynamic atmosphere involving music and beach-side elements.
