So, today Yang Chen we are going to be introducing everyone to this sport. It's called crew. C-R-E-W.
Crew or rowing is a sport with an ancient history, but the first races took place in England.
Crew involves teams of two, four or eight rowers in a row boat called a shell.
A shell can be very long. A shell for a team of eight rowers is about 60 feet long!
Yes. To row a boat that long requires a lot of upper body strength and endurance.
Very impressive. I think you should take up the sport of crew or rowing and maybe someday you can participate in the Olympic Games.
What do you say we head to the gym and do some serious rowing?
