We need a midweight category as well! most people aren't under 160 or over 200 naturally, even after training. The weight categories were created back when average heighters were shorter. Any guy who is 6'-6'3 is excluded from the sport, or has to become a rake or compete against monsters.

Why do the heavyweights get to keep ALL their events? Do we really need to see every permutation of boat size/type? Why not throw tripples into the sculling mix, and quintuples, and make a 6-person sweep boat? We already have too many on the heavy side. Make a midweight pair/four god damn it!
