Background
This was the 26th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1904 with the exception of 1912.
Qualification
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) has been limited to a single boat (one rower) in the event since 1976.
Competition format
This rowing event is a coxless pair event, meaning that each boat is propelled by two rowers. The "coxless" portion means that there is no coxswain. Each rower has one oar. The course uses the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.[1]
During the first round three heats were held. The first three boats in each heat advanced to the semifinals, with the others relegated to the repechage.
The repechage offered rowers a second chance to qualify for the semifinals. Placing in the repechage determined which semifinal the boat would race in. The top three boats in the repechage moved on to the semifinals, with the remaining boats being eliminated.
Two semifinals were held, each with 6 boats. The top three boats from each heat advanced to Final A and competed for a medal. The remaining boats advanced to Final B.
The third and final round was the finals. Each final determined a set of rankings. The A final determined the medals, along with the rest of the places through 6th, while the B final gave rankings from 7th to 12th.
Schedule
The competition was held over eight days. Times given are session start times; multiple rowing events might have races during a session.[2]
