Attendance at the last day of the 2010 World Rowing Championships was 15,243, taking the cumulative total for the Championships to 66,771 - a new record for a World Rowing Championships.
The previous highest spectator number was 65,600 for the 2007 World Rowing Championships in Munich, Germany.
"Setting a new record for spectator numbers is the perfect end to an unforgettable World Championships," said CEO Tom Mayo. "We have truly raised the bar in every way."
At the official Closing Ceremony, FISA President Denis Oswald said: "I praise the Organising Committee for having staged such an outstanding event and I include all members of the Organising Committee and volunteers who have been so helpful and friendly to us. It won't take 32 years until we come back. Karapiro 2010 brought the WC to new standards and set a new model."
