In October 2020, the congress of the international rowing federation overwhelmingly positioned itself to introduce sea rowing as a discipline accompanied by the removal of the light weight category to respect the quota of athletes. The lightweight events are ultimately maintained at the 2020 and 2024 Games, but should be eliminated in 2028.
As of 2020, there are as many men's as women's events on the program. In scull rowing, a rower uses two oars of approximately 3 m (single scull, double scull, quadruple scull, lightweight double scull). ). In advanced rowing, each rower rows a single oar approximately 3.9 m long (two without coxswain, four without coxswain, eight with coxswain).
