Extractions: The coxswain must weigh at least 55 kilos (about 121 pounds) in men's events and 50 kilos in women's events (about 110 pounds). If the cox is lighter, a weight can be used to make up the difference. Also, a crew can continue racing if a rower falls out of the boat, but not if the cox goes overboard. Rowing was supposed to begin its Olympic history in but the weather was too rough to hold any races and it wasn't until four years later in Paris that the first Olympic rowing medals were awarded. Mens Olympic Rowing events are: single sculls, double sculls, lightweight double sculls, quadruple sculls, pair, four, lightweight four, and eight with coxswain. Womens Olympic events are: single sculls, double sculls, lightweight double sculls, quadruple sculls, pair, and eight with coxswain. Only the eights have coxswains, a small person, who steers the boat, motivates the rowers, and gives orders to the crew. The weight cut-off for the women's lightweight events is 59 kilos or 130 pounds and 72.5 kilos or 160 pounds, for the men's lightweight races. However the average weight of a women's lightweight crew cannot exceed 57 kilos (about 126 pounds) and the average men's lightweight crew cannot weigh more than 70 kilos (about 154 pounds).

Gold for Redgrave and cohort yesterday, silver (the first women's Olympic rowing medal) for the women's quad today in the tightest of finishes, and finally, to round off the regatta, gold for all nine of the British men's eight, beating the rest of the big boys at their own game, peaking at exactly the right time after silver last year and defeats this summer. Three rowing medals, thirteen Olympic champions and four Olympic runners up, our best result for decades.

There is the chance of more reportage from the British press contingent, over the next few days, so check back here for updates. Redgrave does it : it was fast, hard, and agonisingly close.

Extractions: Back to ROWING NEWS Saturday, September 23 REDGRAVE SHOWS TRUE COLOURS Steve Redgrave stormed into the history books with a fifth successive Olympic rowing gold medal this morning setting himself up to become the first knight of the sport. Pinsent, overwhelmed with joy, celebrates victory with Redgrave after their gold medal win It is widely rumoured that Redgrave will be given the honour by Tony Blair following the CBE which he already holds, after his victory in the coxless fours early this morning. The title capped the most remarkable career in the history of British Olympic sport with a stunning performance on the first overcast day of the Olympics. Redgrave triumphed before a full-house of 22,000 at the idyllic rowing venue for which tickets in many countries had been completely pre-sold before the event. Fifty-one countries battled for rowing honours. Natalie, Redgraves eldest daughter was in floods of tears as the boats crossed the line - the finish was so close that she thought her father has failed to make it. His sisters too were overcome by the moment. Natalie was so overcome that all she say was: Its good. Redgraves father Geoff, aged 70, a retired builder only just made the race. For three days he has been in bed with Sydney flu and only heavy medication got him out to the finish line in time to see a moment of sporting history. We been here since March and Ive had no problem then we come to Sydney and I get the flu.

http://www.times-olympics.co.uk/communities/rowing/rowinghistory.html

Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY The first Olympic rowing champion was probably the youngest ever champion across all sports. On August 26, 1900, The Netherlands coxed pair decided that their cox was too heavy and dropped him. They chose instead a French boy from the crowd. The boy's photograph was taken on the medal rostrum as he was honoured, but then he disappeared into the crowd and no details were taken down. He is believed to have been between 7 and 12 years old. Anything under 10 would make him the youngest ever Olympic gold medal-winner. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Robert Zimonyi became the oldest gold medal winner when, aged 46, he coxed the US eight in 1964. A more famous American turned up in 1920; John Kelly, a bricklayer from Philadelphia, beat Jack Beresford, of Great Britain, to win the single sculls title. Beresford came back four years later to win the 1924 title on the River Seine in Paris, and, with Leslie Southwood won the double sculls in front of Hitler at the 1936 Games in Berlin. Kelly, meanwhile, had been busy becoming a family man, and his offspring would extend his fame beyond sport; while his son was four-times Olympic rower John Jr, his daughter, Grace Kelly, became a Hollywood actress and later Princess Grace of Monaco.

The top repechage finishers also advance to the semifinal. The first six semifinal finishers race in the final and the next six enter a petit final, for 7th through 12th places. The boats are held by the stern on starting pontoons and the bows are aligned on the start line. The rower in the bow seat may raise his/her hand to indicate that the crew is not ready, up until the time when the starter conducts a roll call of the crews. After the last crew has been named in the roll call, the starter raises his/her red flag and gives the warning command "Attention" and, after a pause, says "Go", simultaneously dropping his flag. In the case of a false start, a bell is rung and the starter waves a red flag to recall the crews. Crews are allowed only one false start each before being eliminated. A re-start can also be called for equipment breakage within 100 meters of the start. Straying from a lane is punishable by the umpire by disqualification if interference takes place with another boat. The winner is the boat whose bow touches the finish line first, monitored by judges and a photo-finish camera. The umpire must raise his white flag at the end of a race to signify that it has been completed in accordance with the rules and that there has been no protest.

Extractions: A Brief History of Rowing This section should provide those of you new to rowing (and indeed any of you experienced rowers who are simply ignorant to the sport's makeup!) an idea of the rowing structure in the modern day, as well as giving you a brief outline of the origins of the sport and its social history. Modern day rowing is a highly professional and competitive sport which is carried out from school and club level nationally, right through to Olympic level. The body which oversees all of this world-wide is the FISA . This group is responsible for the majority of the international regattas such as the world championships and world cup meetings. In this country the governing body is the Amateur Rowing Association (ARA) . The majority of clubs in this country are affiliated to the ARA who organise regattas all over the country which contribute to national league tables. This makes up the vast majority of the British rowing calendar. However outside of this are various smaller organisations examples of which are the Coastal Amateur Rowing Association (CARA), and the University Rowing League . They organise their own regattas and leagues not overseen by the ARA, although largely using ARA rules as guidelines.
