Crew racing, also known as rowing, is a competitive sport where teams of rowers propel a boat using oars. The sport can be performed in various types of boats, including sculls and eights, depending on the number of rowers and the configuration of the boat. Races typically take place on calm waters, such as rivers or lakes, and are timed over a set distance. In crew racing, teamwork and synchronization are crucial for success. Each rower must work in harmony with their teammates to maximize speed and efficiency. Competitions can range from local regattas to international events, such as the Olympics, showcasing the skill and dedication of the athletes involved.
