Rowing
Description

Rowing is an Olympic sport where athletes (one or more depending on the event) sit in a rowing boat, facing backwards, and use oars or sculls to propel the boat forward over a straight course of 1,000m. For the regatta, crews or individuals race each other on the same course for positions, which then determine their progression to the final. The winning boat is declared when its bow ball, attached to the tip of the boat, crosses the finish line first.
