Medalists

Rowing at the Summer Paralympics has been part of the competition since the 2008 Summer Paralympics. Rowing as a sport has been part of the Summer Olympics since 1896 Summer Olympics. Rowing at the paralympics is under the jurisdiction of the International Rowing Federation (or FISA, its French acronym) the same as the Olympics.

Disciplines and Events

Discipline	Event	Year Introduced
Men's single sculls	AS (Arms and Shoulders)	2008, as A (Arms only)
Women's Single Sculls	AS (Arms and Shoulders)	2008, as A (Arms only)
Mixed Double Sculls	TA (Trunk and Arms)	2008

Race distances

All races are raced over a 1000 m^[1] straight course, whereas the Olympic distance is 2000 m.

Qualification

There is a limited number of crews permitted to race, so the International Rowing Federation holds qualification events in order to determine who competes at the Paralympic Games. At the Paralympic Games, each National Olympic Committee can only have one boat per event.
