Rowing is a sport characterized by its emphasis on strength, endurance, and technique. In Olympic Winter Games, it refers to indoor rowing, specifically the discipline of ergometer rowing, where athletes compete on specially designed machines that simulate the act of rowing on water. The equipment used in this sport includes an ergometer machine with a sliding seat, oars, and foot stretchers. Competitors are ranked based on their power output, measured in watts, and their ability to maintain consistent speed throughout the race. Rowing is an individual sport, but team competitions also exist, where athletes work together to achieve the highest combined score.
