    Sir Steve Redgrave won a record five rowing golds from 1984 to 2000 Rowing, like sailing, suffered from bad weather the last time Athens hosted the Olympics and the event was scrapped.
    As a result the sport's debut year was put back from 1896 to the Paris Games at the turn of the century. The first record of modern regattas dates from the 18th century before Oxford and Cambridge first locked blades in the University Boat Race in 1829. Rowing's international federation was founded in 1892 so the lack of action four years later was an anti-climax for such an organsied and established sport. When the first Olympic regatta was eventually held on the River Seine it was best remembered for including the youngest Olympic gold medallist in Games history when the Netherlands coxed pair ditched their original cox for being too heavy and plumped for a young local lad watching from the sidelines. After receiving the plaudits on the medal rostrum he disappeared into the crowd again, but while neither his name nor age were confirmed, many observers claim he was under 10, and as young as seven.

    • An historical query: "I'm trying to hunt down the origins of a trophy - the Dewar Shield, that is in the possession of one of my clubs (West Australian RC) old members. The Shield was presented to George Rogers on 3 occasions, 1902, 1903 and 1904 for sculling (which race, where?) by the Iris Rowing Club, somewhere in the UK. The shield was donated by Sir Richard Thomas Dewar MP. George left for Perth, Australia in 1905, taking the shield, which had become his own after the third win. Can any of your readers help fill in the rest? Where was IRIS RC? What distance was the race? Who was Richard Dewar..? Thanks, Tim Downs

    • Rowing tragedy in Canada : "Kiran van Rijn, a sculler from Vancouver, BC, was training on Burnaby Lake, 22 September, 2005 when he fell out of his boat. It is reported that when rescued by his coach, he said that he had become dizzy, which caused him to tip out. The cause of death has not yet been reported." (From a rec.sport.rowing posting). It appears Kiran (a national champion) collapsed while being rescued and stopped breathing before the paramedics arrived.
    • There's nothing in the online press about it, but these links are appropriate - Setting the lake on fire (a profile of him while doing a doctorate two years ago), In Memoriam on the Alberta Rowing Club website. Kiran raced for Canada in the M2x during the 2001 Princeton World Cup, coming fourth, and was in the Canadian sweep squad which won gold and two silvers at the 2002 Commonwealth Regatta. This year he was close to a place on the national senior team, coming third in the men's sculling trials in June.

    HISTORY
    History reprinted with permission from author Peter King. Excerpts of the following are from Rowing , published by Stoddart (1994).
    • Introduction
    • Canadian Rowing History Introduction The sport of rowing has origins in navel battles of ancient Greek and Roman battle ships, when victory in battle situations was determined largely by the skill of ship handling, and therefore the abilities of the oarsmen were key. Beyond military commitment, training in rowing did not really gain popularity until 1715 when Thomas Doggett, a British actor, provided in his will a sum of money to be paid out to the winning crew in an annual race on the Thames River. Handsome prizes were not an anomaly through this period. In fact, during the heyday of professional sculling (1816 and 1878) rowing regattas were highly attended spectator events. Much of the attraction lay in the prize money offered, and the practice of betting was a much-favoured custom among the many social followers. Many of the early oarsmen actually earned their livelihoods as sportsmen, often doubling as boxers or football players. The sportsmen of this era were sponsored by individuals or clubs, much as prize horses are kept today. Long before participation at the Olympics, professional Canadian scullers dominated the international scene. Ned Hanlan, 1880-84 World Champion in the single scull, was a small sinewy man whose ability to out-talent many a larger opponent captured hearts around the world. His coach, also from Canada, invented the original sliding seat. Hanlan was followed by a long list of prominent Canadian scullers, including Jake Gaudaur and Lou Scholes.

    History
    Rowing first appeared as a competition sport in England in 1716. In 1793 it entered its University era, with its adoption by major colleges. In 1829, the annual traditional rowing regatta between the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford was established, marking the beginning of the sport’s rapid development. Baron Pierre de Coubertin had a close association and fondness for rowing, which is expressed in the large number of his written works on the sport. In a 1922 publication entitled “Sport and Genius”, he wrote that the intense effort of oarsmen, the harmony and synchronisation of their movements and the overcoming of natural barriers make rowing an “ideal sport.” It is not by chance that in the Sorbonne International Conference of 1894 organised by de Coubertin, rowing had a prominent place in the planning of the first modern Olympic Games. Unfortunately, the first Olympic Rowing events planned for Easter 1896 in Piraeus were cancelled due to bad weather conditions and inadequate international participation. Rowing events for men were first held in the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris, while women’s events were first included in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. The International Rowing Federation (Fιdιration Internationale des Sociιtιs d’Aviron - FISA), founded in 1892, is the oldest international sports federation in the Olympic movement. The Federation’s headquarters are situated in Lausanne and its membership totals 115 countries. FISA’s main goals are to spread the sport globally and to ensure the maximum possible participation of countries in Olympic Games Rowing events.

    ATHENS 1896
    The people of Athens greeted the Games with great enthusiasm. There is no event that the Greek hosts wanted to win more than the marathon race, because of its historical significance. Spiridon Louis, a Greek shepherd set off from the city of Marathon (marathon was run from Marathon to Athens over the course covered by Greek hero Pheidippides in 490 B.C. after the battle with the Persians) and took the lead four kilometres from the finish line and, to the great joy of the 100,000 spectators, won the race by more than seven minutes.
    James Connolly (USA-athletics) won the triple jump on 6 April 1896, and thus became the first Olympic champion since the Ancient Games. He also finished second in the high jump and third in the long jump. He left Harvard University to travel to Athens on a cargo ship and then by train to compete.
    Alfréd Hajos (HUN-swimming) won the 100m and the 1,200m events. For the longer race, the swimmers were transported by boat and left to swim back to shore alone. According to Hajos, "I must say that I shivered at the thought of what would happen if I got a cramp from the cold water. My will to live completely overcame my desire to win".
    PARIS 1900
    The Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World's Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics.

    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.

      "In the name of all competitors I promise that we will take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit and honour of our team."
      Baron Pierre de Coubertin
      French educationist Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) is credited with the revival of the Modern Olympic Games his imagination having been caught by the excavation of Olympia between 1875 and 1881 where the Ancient Greek Olympic complex was uncovered. He thought that at least one reason for the flowering of Greece during it's "Golden Age" was sport and the ideals behind the Olympic Games. He also drew a parallel with 19th century Britain in the games played at the famous public schools. He wanted to bring the youth of the world together in friendly competition where differences of status, religion, politics and race could be forgotten. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part. Just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

    http://www.crash-b.org/history.htm
    In the beginning, CRASH-B was a group of 1976-1980 US Olympic and World Team athletes who lurked on the Charles River, never rowing the same lineup twice, never practicing before a race, always jumping the start against Harvard and having a lot of fun too.
    The 1980 U.S. boycott of the Olympics was not fun though, and about the same time Concept2 invented their later-named Model A rowing ergometer, the one with the bicycle wheel, a wooden handle and an odometer. The guys (and a few gals) of CRASH-B, led by the likes of Tiff Wood, Dick Cashin, Jake Everett and Holly Hatton, formed a fun little regatta of about twenty rowers in Harvard's Newell Boathouse, to break up the monotony of winter training.
    Within a few short years CRASH-B grew into the international world indoor rowing championships it is now. The regatta outgrew Newell, and then the IAB (the Indoor Athletic Building, now MAC, the Malkin Athletic Center), the QRAC (Radcliffe Quadrangle Athletic Center), moving to MIT's Rockwell Cage for many years. In 1995 the regatta moved to Harvard's Indoor Track Facility, perhaps three times the size of Rockwell Cage. And in 1997 CRASH-B moved to an even larger and ultra-modern facility, the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center at Roxbury Community College.
    In the late 1980s, when Tiff Wood and his wife Kristy Aserlind moved to Seattle, Kurt Somerville, a member of the 1980 US Olympic Eight, took over as Commodore. A few years ago, when he wasn't looking, we decided we liked him so much we elected him Commodore for Life.
