Subject: Re: Question about rowing Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 (verily) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:52:28 07/28/24 Sun In reply to: sparman 's message, "Question about rowing" on 08:26:33 07/27/24 Sat Bottom line is overall cap on athletes per sport. A qualification (elimination) system maintained by the international rowing federation is in place in the year prior, culminating in the final qualifying race, the so-called "Regatta of Death", held at Rotsee in Lucerne, Switzerland at the end of May. U.S.A. took silver in a close fought race behind Great Britain, the Olympic gold medal favorite. U.S.A. is expected to medal; should be a good race. But I agree: seems really odd format for the marquee events (men's and women's 8s). [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I remember they went really fast under that bridge. Anyone know the average speed of those boats?

World record, by the Germans, is 5 min 18.7 secs over 2000 m, standard race length. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-coxed-eights-rowing-(mens-class) or 14.04 mile/hour
