What is World best time in Rowing?

Rowing's equivalent of a world record. Because wind and water conditions change every race, the sport records the fastest time ever achieved in each class as a 'best' rather than treating it as a strict record.

Example: The tailwind final produced a new world best time in the women's eight.
