Answer
In Olympic rowing, distances are measured in meters (m). The standard Olympic course is 2,000 meters long and is marked by buoys or flags. Rowers race against each other in single sculls, double sculls, quadruple sculls, and eight-oared shells, covering the distance as quickly as possible. The course is set up with a floating start, where rowers start from a stationary position and then accelerate to full speed.
