The Japanese Rowing Association, JARA, has sent news on rowing clubs impacted by the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that was centred in Northern Japan.
Naomi Wakasa, of JARA corporate governance commission has informed World Rowing of the following news:
“JARA is located in Tokyo and in the Tokyo area we had almost no severe damage. However, the northern part of Japan has had a severe disaster, and still now we cannot grasp all of the details.
“The competition scheduled for March (high school and junior high school regatta) has been cancelled because of the seriousness of the disaster and difficulties in transport conditions including Tokyo’s metropolitan area. Also we decided to postpone the masters regatta (domestic) scheduled for May.”
The high school regatta was scheduled to be in Hamamatsu city, Shizuoka which is located 250km west of Tokyo. So the main reason for cancellation is transportation issues.
Tokyo has been divided into five groups with each group having 2 – 3 hours of power outages by turns. This has impacted on the JARA headquarters and on rowing clubs throughout Japan.
