INTRODUCTION
Rowing - one of the oldest Olympic sports which is suitable
for both men and women of any ability. Modern racing boats
are sleek and long, with crews of one, two, four or eight
rowers. Since rowing requires the smooth and synchronized
movement of crew members, it is always an attractive spectacle
and has been recognized as the ¡§ultimate team sport¡¨.
