Olympic Rowing

Olympic rowing is a competitive sport where athletes race boats called shells on water, primarily on rivers, lakes, or calm coastal areas. They propel the boat using oars, working in synchronized teams of one, two, four, or eight rowers. The goal is to complete the course in the shortest time while maintaining balance, power, and coordination. Races typically cover 2000 meters, testing speed, endurance, and technique. The sport emphasizes teamwork and efficiency, with athletes wearing streamlined suits and racing at high intensity. Olympic rowing showcases strength, skill, and tactical strategy, making it a premier event in the Games.
