Each event name contains 5 parts that tells you about how the shells (boats) are paddle:

The Number of People in the Shell: The first thing to look for in each event name is the number of people actually rowing the boat. It may say “double” or it may say “pair” but in either case it means 2 people in the boat.

The Difference Between Sculling and Sweep Events: Secondly, each title tells you how the boat is being paddled. In a “Scull,” each oarsman has an oar in each hand . If the word “Scull” is not in the name, then each person only uses 1 oar, which is known as a “Sweep” event.

Coxswain or Coxless: The third thing to look for is the word “coxswain” or “cox.” A coxswain is in the boat directing the rowers and steering the boat. So “Eight with Coxswain” means there are actually 9 people in the boat, eight with paddles and a separate person steering the boat and coaching the crew.

Men or Women: The last part of the event name tells us whether it is men or women rowing the boat.

Weight Classification: Lightweight signifies that male rowers must be under 72.5 kg (159 lbs) while the crew average must be 70 kg or less. Lightweight for female rowers means that no rower can be over 59 kg (130 lb) and the average of the crew must be 57 kg or less.

It's interesting to think that rowing was once just a mode of transportation, now it i s a very profitable international sport.

All Olympic Rowing races are 2000 meters long. This is roughly equivalent to 1.25 miles. There are 6 lanes that are marked with buoys every 500 meters. The boats are allowed to change lanes, as long as they don't interfere with another team.

The boats are held and aligned at the start of the race to prevent a false start.

Crews are allowed 1 false
start each while 2 false starts for a single crew warrants a disqualification.

The sport of rowing has been around since humans learned to travel by boat. Rowing was initially used as a means of transportation, however it was eventually turned into a sport during the fifteenth century. It was described by the writer Virgil to be part of the funeral games for Aeneas. A more modern example are the Boatmen who offered taxi service across London’s Thames River, these taxi operators competed with one another for small prizes. The rowing competition took place in New York Harbor in 1756. Rowing quickly became the a popular sport for the country’s most prestigious colleges; one of the oldest intercollegiate sport in America. It also became an Olympic sport after the 1900's.
