Rowing is a physical team sport that originated as a competition between Oxford and Cambridge universities in Britain. It can involve crews of 2 to 8 members who use oars to propel a boat or shell across lakes or rivers. While competitive rowing events are popular worldwide, the sport remains especially prominent in Britain, where many colleges have their own rowing teams and notable athletes have won Olympic medals in the sport.
