Nice ! Rowing is a big university sport in GB as well as the Netherlands.
With the exception of the first edition in 1896, rowing has always been included in the program of the Olympic Games . Up until the Games of 1972, the sport was reserved for men, in 1976 women competed in this sport for the first time at the Games.
