In sweep oared racing the rigging means the forces are staggered alternately along the boat. The symmetrical forces in sculling make the boat more efficient and so the quadruple scull is faster than the coxless four. [2] A 'quad' is different from a 'four' in that a 'quad', or quadruple scull, is composed of four rowers each with two blades ...

This rowing event is a quadruple scull event, meaning that each boat is propelled by four rowers. The "scull" portion means that the rower uses two oars, one on each side of the boat; this contrasts with sweep rowing in which each rower has one oar and rows on only one side. The competition consists of two rounds.
Unlike most other rowing events, the women's quadruple sculls had only a single final (with 7 boats in the event, a "B" final would have consisted of only a single team). The final was held on August 4, a cool (18 °C) day with no wind. West Germany again started strong, taking a lead of 1.2 seconds by the halfway mark, before falling back.
This rowing event is a single scull event, meaning that each boat is propelled by a single rower. The "scull" portion means that the rower uses two oars, one on each side of the boat; this contrasts with sweep rowing in which each rower has one oar and rows on only one side (not feasible for singles events).
