You've clearly never done a 2K test.

All HS kids who row should be commended - it's an incredibly demanding sport that requires total unity of effort and concentration in the boat. Congrats to McLean and Wakefield!

It’s not a sport

LOL how do you figure? It's athletic and requires skill. What else makes a sport? A ball? Wtf.

My generally applicable definition of a sport is that it is something which requires running and has the possibility of a fight. Hockey is a sport because although there is technically no running, the possibility of a fight is so high. Everything else, even if tremendously athletic (think gymnastics, or tennis) is an activity.

See? I knew this was a bored 15 year old.

You must be pretty bored too hanging out on a rowing thread 😂

Olympic Sports that PP thinks aren't sports by their definition:
Alpine Skiing
Archery
Gymnastics
Artistic Swimming
Bobsled
canoe
Cross country skiing
Cycling
Diving
equestrian
Figure skating
Skiing
Golf
Judo
Karate
Luge
Swimming
Rowing
Sailing
speed skating
skeleton
snowboard
surfing
tennis
trampoline
marathon
water polo
weightlifting
wrestling

I think it is fair to say that PP has no idea what a sport is.

I am a swimmer and rower, and they are very similar. What is needed most is an absolute ability to grind and endure. There is something about rowing that gets under your skin, though - when everything clicks and the boat starts to move it is like flying - it is euphoric.

Congrats to the winning crews!

Honestly, my comment with the definition was a joke...Obviously it didn't come across that way
