Postponement has been decided for the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai.
The new dates are being arranged.
Please note that the followings are the information before the postponement was confirmed.

Rowing involves racing on a straight course on the water on a boat propelled by oars. Unlike canoeing, rowers row with their backs facing the direction of movement. Their legs are fixed to the boat, and their seats slide back and forth along rails. Rowers mainly use their legs to propel the boat.
