in the 1970-Yaers, i was a ligtweigt Rower for my home Country Holland. I toke part on World Championships and discovert the value of participating on such a high lavel. It must be possible for any one, to take part wenn he/she is able to get fast enough. That is, why it is absolutly nessecary that ligtweight rowing stay in the olympic programm.

Lightweight Rowing is so essential in the development of rowing. Without this fewer would progress to higher levels.

Independent data show that the 3 Olympic lightweight events had the closest average percentage difference (1st to 6th) of all events on the programme (meaning they were the most competitive) from 1996 - 2012. They also had some of the highest numbers of distinct nation entries (more universal), and higher entries than the comparable open category events over the 4-year cycle. The men's four, by contrast, had the second lowest % difference, the 5th lowest distinct nation entries, and the lowest number of distinct nations represented on the podium.

Given that Olympic boxing has ten well established weight classes that seem to cause no problem to their governing body, it is truly hard to understand why any consistent, rational minds might think that maintaining two weight classes in rowing is not appropriate!

Weight categories are a legitimate part of sport. 

For the lightweight category to survive legitimately (especially in Australia) in rowing more emphasis is required on the natural lightweight and not those who drop weight for one or two events throughout the year.  (If you are lightweight be lightweight for the whole season).  

How can world rowing grow disabled rowing when they kill off lightweight rowing?
