The championships were notable for the number of world best times set on days seven & eight of competition (30 & 31 August) with fourteen long standing world marks set in addition to a number of world best times beaten then bettered during the regatta. Tail winds and fast water affected the conditions on the Bosbaan but the new marks were allowed to stand by FISA. The records included the sixteen fastest ever times rowed at World Championships, with fourteen of those also being the world's best time. As of 2021 eleven of those marks still stand as the world's best times. [29]

Rowing, sometimes called crew in the United States, is the sport of racing boats using oars. It differs from paddling sports in that rowing oars are attached to the boat using oarlocks, while paddles are not connected to the boat. Rowing is divided into two disciplines: sculling and sweep rowing. In sculling, each rower holds two oars—one in each hand, while in sweep rowing each rower holds one oar with both hands. There are several boat classes in which athletes may compete, ranging from single sculls, occupied by one person, to shells with eight rowers and a coxswain, called eights. There are a wide variety of course types and formats of racing, but most elite and championship level racing is conducted on calm water courses 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long with several lanes marked using buoys.
