What are the rules of rowing in the Olympic Games?
Everyone has seen a lot of rowing competitions, right? Rowing is a water sport. The rower sits on the boat with his back to the direction of the boat, and uses his muscle strength to paddle through the simple leverage of the paddle and paddle rack to make the boat move forward. Do you know the specific rules of rowing competition?

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.

Men's lightweight single sculls athletes should not weigh more than 72.5 kilograms; The average weight of rowers in a single event or above shall not exceed 70 kg, and the maximum weight of each rower shall not exceed 72.5 kg. The weight of women's lightweight single sculls athletes shall not exceed 59 kg, the average weight of single and above events shall not exceed 57 kg, the maximum weight of single rowers shall not exceed 59 kg, and the lightest weight of helmsman shall be 55 kg for men and 50 kg for women. When the weight is insufficient, the corresponding weight should be increased and placed in the nearest place to the helmsman, and the weight should not exceed 65,438+00 kg. Lightweight athletes and helmsman should weigh themselves within 1-2 hours before the first race every day.
