Rowing

Rowing


Rowing is one of the oldest and most prestigious sports on Earth, and there is evidence that the first rowing event may have taken place as long ago as the Egyptian era. Oxford and Cambridge organized a competitive rowing competition in 1828, and the two educational facilities still compete with each other today. Rowing is a sport that uses wooden oars, known as oars, to make long boats go into the water at high speeds to win races. Rowing has appeared in almost every event of the Summer Olympics since it first started. Only the 1896 tournament did not include rowing events, and extreme weather forced organizers to take water sports off the schedule. The men's rowing competition began in 1900, and the women's rowing competition was introduced much later in 1976. 스포츠토토


The United States is the most successful country in Olympic rowing so far, collecting as many as 89 medals. However, East Germany were great challengers during their time (the U.S. managed to secure a record of 33 gold medals recently), and Britain has done well in the past decade, topping the Olympic rowing medal standings three times in a row. The greatest male rower of all time is widely known as Sir Steve Redgrave of England, and Elisabetta Lipa of Romania is often considered the best female rower. Both won five gold medals each.


Players & Equipment.

All competitors in the rowing competition have different roles, and the number and equipment of competitors may vary depending on the type of rowing in the event.


Boat & Player.

Rowing competitions use different names depending on the number of people participating and the type of boat used. The main events of the Olympics are as follows.:


Single Skull: One athlete has two oars on a "Skull" boat (one on each hand)

Double Skull: is: two athletes are on a "skull" boat with two oars each (one on each hand).

Quadruple Skull: There are four athletes on the "Skull" boat, all with two oars (one in each hand).

A pair without Cox: 2 athletes on a boat without "coxswain" (who sits on the stern to facilitate control); each player has one sweep paddle.

Coxed pair: There are two players on a boat with Cox. Both players have one sweep-no each.

Coxless Four: Like Coxless Fair, there are only four players, not two.

Coxed Four: Like Coxed Fair, there are only four players, not two.

Eight: Eight rowers with one sweep paddle each with a boat controlled by Coxswain.


It's a rule of adjustment.

Race adjustment includes many rules that athletes must follow to avoid disqualification. This includes::


Lane change: There are six lanes in the Olympic rowing competition, with one lane assigned to each boat. Players and teams can actually move from one lane to the other if they want to. Unless, in the meantime, obstructs or interferes with other boats.


Wrong start: The boat must not deviate from the starting line until the fire has sounded. The competitor/team is allowed one "false" start (i.e. start before authorization). However, if they do this twice, they will be disqualified from the race.

Olympic medal winners: Olympic gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to the top three boats in the final race of six teams/athletes.
