Rules of rowing competition
The World Rowing Championships established by the International Rowing Federation has 23 events, which are divided into 4 levels. That is, men's open lightweight and women's open lightweight. Each level is divided into single paddle and double paddle according to the form of movement; Rowing is divided into single, double, four and eight people according to the number of participants; Some events are divided into helmsman and no helmsman.
The distance of rowing competition is 2000 meters for both men and women. The width of each channel is13.5m.. Generally, there are 6 channels, with a maximum of 8 channels. Because the venue, meteorological and hydrological conditions of each race are different, there is no absolute record of rowing competition.
Athletes should finish the race in their own lanes. Because the back of the paddle is facing the finish line, it can be rowed into other people's channels, but it must not affect other people's normal rowing. The ranking is determined by the order in which the bows reach the finish line. Athletes who fail in the preliminary round still have a chance to win the final through the semi-finals and semi-finals, and all rowing boats will decide the final ranking.
