2008 European Rowing Championships

The 2008 European Rowing Championships were held at the Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre, Marathon, Greece, between September 16 and September 21, 2008. They were the 2nd annual event after the decision made in May 2006 by the FISA to re-establish the European Rowing Championships.

Owing to a big storm announced on the Centre, all finales (A and B) took place on Saturday, September 20 and not Sunday, September 21, as initially scheduled.
