MAIN Sports Olympic Games Rowing

Men and women compete for Olympic medals in single sculls, double sculls, lightweight double sculls, quadruple sculls, pair, and eight with coxswain.

The men have two other events, the four and lightweight four.

The eight with coxswain event is probably the most familiar sculling event, but the individual and smaller team races can be just as exciting. Without a coxswain, you may get lost surfing for the results from your favorite team. These sites will get you back in tempo...
