EBU offer to renew rowing deal

The new offer covers the annual World Championships and the World Cup series and is a relief to FISA, which had feared that its EBU deal might not be renewed after the International Olympic Committee rejected an EBU bid for the 2014 and 2116 Olympic Games.

The EBU later said it would question its commitment to broadcasting major championship events of Olympic sports if it didn’t have the rights to the Games.
