What do rowers aim for at a race's start?

  • Fast start

  • Slow pace

  • Steady row

  • Quick finish

Answer

The key to a rower's success lies in a fast start. Rowers aim to accelerate their boats as quickly as possible off the starting line to gain an early advantage. To achieve this, they synchronize their movements and exert maximum power with each stroke, generating high propulsion and building momentum. A strong start can set the tone for the rest of the race and provide psychological advantage over competitors.
