The basics

For those of you who are not that familiar with Rowing, here are some basics from the London 2012 website: The 14 Olympic Rowing events range from the Single Sculls, featuring solo rowers, to the Eights, contested by teams of eight rowers plus a cox.

All events are held over a 2,000m course, with the competition taking a total of eight days. All Rowing events at London 2012 will begin with the heats, from which the best boats will qualify for the next round.

Boats that do not qualify automatically from the heats get a second chance to qualify through the repechage round. The best boats eventually progress through the various stages and into the finals of each event which decide the medallists.
