If you are interested in rowing races, then you first need to learn the rules and regulations of the sport. Otherwise, you may become disqualified from the race.
In rowing, you use a wooden paddle called an oar to take the boat through the water at high speed. The objective of rowing is to make sure that your boat gets to the finish line before the other participants of the race. If you are competing as a team, then you need synchronisation as well.
According to the type of rowing, the number of equipment and players may vary. In Olympics, the main events include single scull, double scull, quadruple scull, coxless pairs, coxed pairs, coxless fours, coxed fours, and eights.
You need to learn about the boat and different equipment. Various oars are used for races. Commonly, the oars have a long and thin body. In the end, there is a thick paddle-like molding. For the coxless and coxed events, larger and thicker oars are used.
In an Olympic rowing event, there are six separate lanes, and each lane is assigned to a boat. You can move from one lane to another but you must ensure that you are not blocking the others when doing so. If you do, you will be disqualified.
You should not start the race before the firing gun goes off. Each team is allowed one false start, but doing it more than one time will disqualify them from the race.
Rowing requires a lot of practice. You need to be strong physically and mentally to participate in races and winning them.
