Elliot Hovey
Elliot Meyer Hovey (born 17 February 1983 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American rower who participated in the 2008 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Olympics. During his youth in New England, Hovey's athletic focus was primarily on downhill ski racing. By high school he lost interest and began his rowing career at Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut (1999). He quickly rose through the ranks on Salisbury's Crew with hopes of following his grandfather's footsteps and row on an Ivy League college team. In the process, Hovey posted nationally ranked Concept2 ergometer scores for 2000 meter tests at the Junior level. He was invited to the US Junior National Rowing Team selection camps in 2000 and 2001 which both took place on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hovey failed to be selected and was cut from both teams. He was then recruited by coaches Booth Kyle and Ed Kloman (2000) as well as Evans Liolin and Colin Campbell (2001) to row with the Boston Rowin ...

Royal Canadian Henley Regatta
The Royal Canadian Henley Regatta started in 1880 as the first championship for the newly formed Canadian Amateur Rowing Association. History It changed venues often until 1903, when it was decided to hold it at St. Catharines Port Dalhousie's Martindale Pond hosted by the St. Catharines Rowing Club permanently. Originally the race was 1 mile 550 yards long (2112m), the same distance as the Henley Royal Regatta in England at the time. The pond was an ideal location because the level of the water could be controlled. Wooden grandstands were built, and in 1947, women raced for the first time. In 1964, the distance was changed to 2000 metres, the current standard distance for international competition. The facilities were completely redone in 1966, and in 1972, women's races became a permanent, rather than exhibition event. In 1999, the facilities were again upgraded for the 1999 World Rowing Championships. The Royal Canadian Henley Regatta has welcomed many famous spectator ...

Rotsee
__NOTOC__ The Rotsee (previously known as Rootsee) is a natural rowing lake on the northern edge of Lucerne, Switzerland. It is regarded as one of the best rowing venues in the world. Description and location The lake and its surrounding area is used for local recreation. All of the lake frontage is a protected area. The lake formed through glacial processes and it is thought that the river Reuss flowed through this valley in between ice ages. There is no notable inflow and virtually no current. Nearby hills protect the lake from wind. It is long. These factors make it an ideal rowing venue and German-speaking rower refer to it as ''Göttersee'', which translates as "lake of the gods". The expression was coined at the 1962 World Rowing Championships by a Japanese rowing official. The Zug–Lucerne railway is located north of the lake. The south side of the lake has residential land use. The Ron is a creek that is the lake's outflow; it flows into the Reuss at Root. History Si ...
