#1272016-10-24 12:20I used to be a rower myself in the lightweight category, would love to see this event continue to feature in Olympics. This event also helps to promote rowing amongst athletes who do not have to weight to be competitive in the open category. |

#1282016-10-24 14:10Everyone should have an opportunity to row everywhere, despite of growth, weight, age, origin... |
Guest |
#1292016-10-24 14:35Because it is absolutely different then heavy weights. Natural Lightweits are great and longlasting! They Need to be respected and give them a chance also to show their possibilities. |

#1302016-10-24 15:27Let's keep the most spectacular, closest and most competitive rowing events. Having constraints on the weight of the crews is contributing to exactly this! |
Guest |
#1312016-10-24 15:45Not everyone will become an Olympic rower but if there are no lightweight Olympic categories then many people will be put off from starting the sport. |

#1322016-10-24 16:16To keep the diversity in rowing, so its not only for people much bigger than the average person |
Guest |
#1342016-10-24 17:54I believe that lightweights are a majority of the world population. Excluding lightweights disenfranchises most of the world's potential rowers. It is like having one class for weight lifting, wrestling, or boxing. |

#1362016-10-24 18:01Lightweight Rowing is a unique sport. It allows extraordinary athletes to compete on a level playing field. It allows average weight people to row against similarly-sized people. It epitomizes the Olympic spirit of fair contests in a way that open-weight rowing cannot. As a concussion-free sport it should be promoted in our athletic culture. |

#1382016-10-24 19:00I'am a lightweight rower trying to get into national level, and eventually international. And I also belive in gender equality and that women should have the same oppportunities as men in sports, especially in the Olympics |
Guest |
#1392016-10-24 19:24I believe that lightweight rowing has really improved the spectacle of world rowing. More importantly, it gives an aspirational pathway for grassroots rowing. get rid of it, lightweight rowing will be a club sport only and die. |
Guest |
#1402016-10-24 21:24Light weight rowing has since 1996 at the Olympics been some of the best racing, most exciting, entertaining and inspiring. |
Guest |
#1412016-10-24 21:40Many Olympic sports have different categories, weightlifting, judo and boxing . Rowing is an inclusive sport when it includes lightweight and heavy weight. we need more lightweight events not less . |
Guest |
#1422016-10-24 21:41Because light weight rowing is a very important discipline. The rower´s weight has a big influence on the result in the boat so why make it a sport only for "big guys and girls". |
Guest |
#1432016-10-24 23:53Lightweight rowing keeps this wonderful sport open and available for smaller rowers to compete at the highest level. |
Guest |
#1442016-10-25 00:24Lightweight rowing opens up the sport to a group of people who would otherwise be excluded from success. It also creates great racing as all competitors are similar physically so don't have advantages over each other. |
Guest |
#1462016-10-25 01:26I believe in the preservation of lightweight rowing to give more athletes a chance to compete in the sport. |
Guest |
#1472016-10-25 01:54Why should only heavyweights get to experience the Olympics? Lightweights are just as athletic and skilled in the sport, and derserve to be represented. Diversity and equality should be encouraged at all levels, and the Olympics should not just be about rewarding those who have a genetic advantage. |
Guest |
#1492016-10-25 05:49I believe ltwt rowing should be kept. It offers opportunities to other rowers. |

#1502016-10-25 05:53Lightweight rowing encourages universality and competitive racing. ML4- 2012 - first black South African gold ML2x 2016 - Ireland - crew of the games - silver ML4- 2016 - Swiss, small nation gold ML2x -2004 - Greeks - small nation |
