Olympics Rowing
Since the 1900 Summer Olympics Rowing has been contested that remained on the program at the 1896 Summer Olympics but was cancelled due to weather. Only men were allowed to compete until 1976 when women's events were introduced. Lightweight events were introduced to the games in 1996. However, this came under threat in 2002 when the Programme Commission of the IOC recommended outside combat sports and weightlifting without weight category events. The Executive Board overturned this recommendation and lightweight rowing continues.

At the current Olympics the following 14 events are offered:
• Men: quad sculls, double sculls, single sculls, eight, coxless four, coxless pair
• Lightweight Men: coxless four, double sculls
• Women: quad sculls, double sculls, single sculls, eight, coxless pair
• Lightweight Women: double sculls.

Men's races have been raced over the standard 2,000 m except in 1900 (1,750 m), 1904 (1.5 miles), 1906 (various), 1908 (1.5 miles) and 1948 (1,880 m). Women's races were 1,000 m until 1988 when they were changed to 2,000 m. Early games featured match races between 2 or 3 boats and in 1952, between 4 and 5 boats. The modern six boat side by side format was first adopted at the 1936 Games, and has been the standard since the 1956 Games. There is limited number of places for racing so FISA hold qualification events in order to determine who competes at the Olympic Games. At the games, each National Olympic Committee can only have one boat per event.

The main qualification comes from the previous year's World Rowing Championships. Other qualifying events are called "Continental Qualification Regattas", of which 4 are held during the year of the games - Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Final. Each year FISA issues details of how many crews qualify at each regatta. At the World Champs, the top finishing boats guarantee a place for that country - the rowers in the crew can be changed before the games. At the qualification regattas, it is the crew that qualifies and no changes can be made except for illness or injury.

At the 1904 Summer Olympics, five rowing events were contested. The Olympics were held in St. Louis, United States, and all of the rowing competitors, were from the United States. It was the second appearance of the sport in Olympic competition. Coxless forms of the pairs and fours were introduced, replacing the coxed pairs and fours that had been used 4 years earlier. Sculling was expanded with double sculls as well as singles. The men's coxed fours with in riggers, also referred to as the coxed four with jugriggers, was a rowing event held as part of the Rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme. It was the only appearance of the restricted event. Rowing at the 1984 Summer Olympics featured 14 events in total, for both men and women. Due to the Eastern Bloc boycott of these Olympics, the strongest rowing nations like East Germany, the USSR or Bulgaria were not present. However, this boycott gave an opportunity to Romania, one of the few eastern European countries to participate in Games, thus dominating in women's sports, winning 5 gold medals in 6 events.

Sir Steven Redgrave won his first of five consecutive gold medals. Elisabeta Oleniuc, also won her first gold medal. Twenty years latter she won her fifth gold medal on 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. The event is probably most noted for Steve Redgrave's winning his fifth Olympic gold medal in as many games in the British men's coxless four. However, other dramatic races of both the men's and women's single scull events were highly anticipated and closely contested. In the women's race, Ekaterina Karsten, the Olympic champion, won a photo finish, beating Rumyana Neykova by 1/100th of a second. And in the men's race, the World Champion (and world record holder in indoor rowing) Rob Waddell beat reigning Olympic Champion Xeno Muller along with Marcel Hacker and Derek Porter in a tough, close race. In the men's eight, Great Britain captured the gold medal for the first time since 1912, beating Australia by 8/10th of a second.

Rowing at the 2004 Summer Olympics took place at the Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre featuring 550 competitors in 14 events.

The medals were split among 22 countries, Romania topping the medal table, with women winning 3 golds and traditionally strong Germany, Great Britain and Australia picking up four medals each.
