Tigh 09/15/2016 11:29:42 AM Arguably there should be some multiplier (however small) for smaller boats...especially a single scull. The athletes are doing it all on their own. that adds a degree of difficulty not present in larger boats (esp an 8 or 4). Seeing Mahe at 14, with the last two Olympic golds in the single, just underscores the point. report abuse Pender09 09/16/2016 4:08:55 PM You could argue it both ways - countries who prioritize larger boats means it's harder to earn a seat in those events. report abuse
