History
Rowing events were scheduled to be held at the first modern Summer Olympics in 1896, but the events were canceled due to poor weather conditions. The events were held for the first time in 1900 and have been held at every Summer Olympic Games since. Women's rowing events were added at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Canada.International Olympic Committee: Olympic Rowing HistoryEvents
