Rowing at the 1968 Summer Olympics – Men's coxless four

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The men's coxless four competition at the 1968 Summer Olympics took place at Virgilio Uribe Rowing and Canoeing Course, Mexico.[1]

Competition format

This rowing competition consisted of two main rounds (heats and finals), as well as a repechage round that allowed teams that did not win their heats to advance to the final. All races were 2,000 metres in distance.

  • Heats: Two heats. With 11 boats entered, there were five or six boats per heat. The top boat in each heat (total of 2 boats) advanced directly to the final; all other boats (9 boats) went to the repechage.
  • Repechage: Two heats. There were four or five boats in each heat. The top two boats in each heat (total of 4 boats) advanced to the final. The remaining boats (5 boats) were sent to a 7th–11th place classification race.
  • Finals: A main final and a 7th–12th place classification race.
