Frequently Asked Questions
What separates this Water and Boat Sports athlete category from Aquatic Sports?
The dividing line is whether a craft carries the athlete, as with rowers and sailors, rather than the athlete's own body in the water.
This subcategory groups athletes who competed from a boat, shell or hull, meaning rowers and sailors. Athletes who compete with their own body in the water are grouped instead under Aquatic Sports, so the dividing line is whether a craft carries the athlete during competition.
