Rowing at the 1980 Summer Olympics

Rowing
at the Games of the XXII Olympiad
Venue Krylatskoye Rowing Canal
Dates 20–27 July
Competitors 470 (313 men, 150 women) from 25 nations

Rowing at the 1980 Summer Olympics was represented by 14 events.[1] It took place in the Man-made Basin, located at the Trade Unions Olympic Sports Centre (Krylatskoye district, Moscow).[2] The rowing schedule began on 20 July and ended on 27 July.[1]

Due to the American-led boycott some strong rowing nations were not present. In that situation East Germany dominated the competition: they won 14 medals, including 11 golds, from 14 events.[2]

The quadruple sculls events, introduced in 1976, were again held without coxswain for men and with coxswain for women.[3]
