As early as January of this year, the organizing committee for the event was formed with the secretary of Shunyi district party committee and head of the district government as chief organizers. The committee has studied the issues related to the environment, security, publicity, volunteer recruitment and training, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the rowing championships. At the moment, the management team is making the final check of the preparatory work.
