Rowing

Rowing boats of varying shapes and sizes race over a straight 1km course-the boat that crosses the finish line first wins. A lung-busting challenge, this is rowing’s third appearance at the Paralympic Games – it was included as a competitive sport in Beijing 2008. The races were held at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, with one men’s,one women’s and two mixed events.
