[edit] Trivia
In the coxed pair event, the winning Dutch crew decided, after losing their heat, that their coxswain was too heavy and they recruited a 7 year old French boy to steer the boat for the finals. The lad, name unknown, is believed to be the youngest Olympic medalist ever.
[edit] Notes
- ^ Four events were scheduled, but due to wrangling about who would be allowed to compete in the coxed fours final, two finals were held for that competition. Both finals are considered Olympic championships by the International Olympic Committee.
