Rowing is a sport held on the surface of the water, where athletes propel a boat using oars.
Rowing in England began on the River Thames as early as the 13th century and resulted in a company of watermen who transported passengers up, down, and across the Thames in and near London.
By the 16th century, wagering by passengers in different boats led to races, at first impromptu and later organized.主題: Rowing (划船運動)
