Rowing

One of the few sports in Olympics to enjoy a long and continuous streak is Rowing. Debuted in 1900 Paris Games, Rowing has since then come a long way and has made way to more events, making the competition all the more exciting and fierce. East Germany, with 33 gold medals out of the 226 that have been awarded, stands at the top of the table. USA is close second with 31 gold medals but as far as overall tally goes, USA has won 84 medals out of the 641 awarded, whereas Great Britain has earned 54, followed by East Germany, who has won 48. Sir Steve Redgrave from Great Britain is considered as the greater rower ever. He won 5 gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympics, beginning 1984, to 2000. In the 2012 London Games, 550 rowers, 353 men and 197 women will take part in the competition that will be held at Eton Dorney from 28th July to 4th August. As many as 14 events will be a part of the Rowing competition.
