Competition Results

Rowing

In the next round from each race were several of the best crews (depending on discipline). В финал A выходили 6 сильнейших экипажей.

Men

Действующий олимпийский чемпион из СССР Вячеслав Иванов смог защитить свой титул и стал вторым в истории гребцом-одиночником, кому удалось стать двукратным олимпийским чемпионом. На 500-метровой отметке финального заезда Иванов, который в отсутствии своего основного соперника Стюарта Маккензи считался основным фаворитом соревнований ^[1] , занимал третью позицию, отставая от немца Ахима Хилля на 2 секунды. Однако уже к середине дистанции Иванов догнал своих конкурентов и вышел вперёд, совсем немного опережая новозеландского гребца. За 500 метров до финиша Иванову удалось создать небольшой отрыв от соперников. Заключительный отрезок дистанции Иванов прошёл очень мощно, повысив количество с 30 до 44 ^[2] , и завершил дистанцию со временем 7:13,96, став двукратным олимпийским чемпионом ^[3] . Как позднее заявлял сам Иванов: «Маккензи в Риме не выступал, а других соперников у меня не было — выиграл без борьбы» ^[4] .
