Background
editThis was the 13th appearance of the event, which was first held at the 1976 Olympics.
Qualification
editEach National Olympic Committee (NOC) was limited to a single boat (one rower) in the event since 1912.
Competition format
editThis rowing event is a quadruple scull event, meaning that each boat is propelled by four rowers. The "scull" portion means that the rower uses two oars, one on each side of the boat; this contrasts with sweep rowing in which each rower has one oar and rows on only one side. The competition consists of two rounds. Finals are held to determine the placing of each boat. The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.[1]
During the first round two heats were held. The first two boats in each heat advanced to final A, while all others were relegated to the repechages.
The repechage offered rowers a second chance to qualify for Final A. The top two boats in the repechage moved on to Final A, with the remaining boats sent to Final B.
There are two finals. Final A determined the medalists and the places through 6th. Final B determined places seven through nine.
Schedule
editThe competition was held over six days.[2]
