More than 500 top rowers head to Racice, Czech Republic (near Prague) to compete in the championships, which run from Friday May 26 to Sunday May 28.

Teams from 34 nations have entered, and the Irish team remains the same as World Cup I in Belgrade, Serbia just three weeks ago, where the Irish won two medals.
