rowing-the sport of my life


When I was a boy in 10 yearof my life I decided to enroll in rowing, a sport that has changed my life
1.Becouse I learned a lot about the work order and discipline
2.After 5 years of training I've developed a nice line of body-without using any drugs and proteins
3.Club in which I practiced ,brought up a lot of children on the right path of life
most people in rowing are strong, healthy boys.

competition is not too large so you can boast a collection of medals from the state and international competitions,like i do.But off course all you have to do is practice,practice and practice.

I would recommended this sport to everyone who wants to be fit.

basics of rowing


Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other on rivers, on lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water. The sport can be both recreational, focusing on learning the techniques required, and competitive where overall fitness plays a large role. It is also one of the oldest Olympic sports. In the United States, high school and collegiate rowing is sometimes referred to as crew.

FISA, the “Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Aviron” in French (or the English equivalent International Federation of Rowing Associations) was founded by representatives from France, Switzerland, Belgium, Adriatica (now a part of Italy) and Italy in Turin on 25 June 1892.[18] It is the oldest international sports federation in the Olympic movement.

FISA first organized a European Rowing Championships in 1893.[18] An annual World Rowing Championships was introduced in 1962.[17][20] Rowing has also been conducted at the Olympic Games since 1900 (cancelled at the first modern Games in 1896 due to bad weather).
