#1532016-10-25 08:58Because it makes no sense to exclude lightweight rowing from the olympics! |

#1542016-10-25 09:13it is absolutely unfair to all light weight rowers around the world, FISA base on what any reason to make this wrongly decision? Or they think that only open races are worth to be existed and participated by heavy weight rower? But whatever any reasons FISA needs to make an explanation clearly and in detail to all light weight rowers who are very angry and annoy now! |

#1552016-10-25 09:14I think, it's the wrong way to cancel lightweight rowing. It shows great competition due to physical eaqualtiy of the athletes and it gives a lot of more countries the oportunity to take part in intenational competions. |
Guest |
#1562016-10-25 09:21Because I believe in lightweight rowing having a major contribution to not only increasing the participation base but also the quality of rowing. |

#1572016-10-25 10:54Light weight rowing is my favourite sport. It also gives the possibility for people of smaller bodies to participate in rowing, and this also includes African and Asian nations. |

#1582016-10-25 12:341.Rowing has to be a sport that covers all sizes. Nations who are naturally smallter will automatically be excluded - 2. many other sports have multiple weight categories - rowing only has 2. 3.Lightweight rowing often provides the closets racing 4. We do have get gender equality in our sport . 5. Programme is spelt this way ! |

#1592016-10-25 13:11I'm a light weight rower myself and i think its good to have an weightclass to get more people interested and involved into rowing. |
Why man |
#161 Why2016-10-25 17:23Why is iit that FISA and especially the IOC see the lightweight rowing as a second rank event |
Guest |
#1622016-10-25 17:32Because I love rowing, and specially like to see the lightweights. |
Guest |
#1642016-10-25 21:40The sport need more rowers not less & lightweight rowers are some of the best to inspire others. |
Guest |
#1652016-10-25 23:55We have lightweight rowers in the club that are considering giving the sport of rowing away and taking up cycling because of the proposed changes. |
Guest |
#1662016-10-26 01:21Lightweight rowing is an incredible competitive discipline which is performed of all kind of people people across the world. |
Guest |
#1672016-10-26 01:49As a former lightweight representative I do not want to see this category die. Their is limited opportunity for lightweights tower to row at an international standard and to dissolve this category will be a disgrace and show nothing but contempt by FISA an it's associates as well as being discriminatory against lightweight rowers. Deeming them not rowers or worthy a place at the table. |

#1682016-10-26 10:45my son has been involved in lightweight rowing for many years. It is actually discriminatory to not have it as not every rower is a heavy weight. It gives access to many more rowers in this wonderful sport. |
Guest |
#1692016-10-26 12:49My teenage daughter is a passionate and dedicated rower who is devoting countless hours and is having tremendous success with this sport..she is a lightweight rower. Please show support for our lightweights too. |
Guest |
#1722016-10-26 18:35Lightweights can never be competitive in a sport dominated by tall, heavy rowers. The separate category enables those of a smaller stature to compete at the highest levels. It's a common situation in many sports. |
Guest |
#1732016-10-26 19:09Preserving Lightweight rowing as part of Olympic programme because it is the way having much more countries involved in the games. LW-rowing has been the way for many countries to compeed during their limited height and weight. Therefore DFfR must fight very hard to preserve. |
Guest |
#1742016-10-26 20:22Because rowing should stay on ol forever and ever!!! Denmark have so many strong great rower's every time.. |
