Έλληνες κωπηλάτες σε Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες: 1X Γυναικών Σεούλ, 1988

 Τόνια Σβάιερ: 1η στον τελικό Β', 7η συνολικά

Competition format[edit]

The competition consisted of three main rounds (heats, semifinals, and finals) as well as a repechage. The 13 boats were divided into three heats for the first round, with 4 or 5 boats in each heat. The top three boats in each heat (9 boats total) advanced directly to the semifinals. The remaining 4 boats were placed in the repechage. The repechage featured a single heat. The top three boats in each repechage heat advanced to the semifinals, with only the last-place boat eliminated (13th place overall). The 12 semifinalist boats were divided into two heats of 6 boats each. The top three boats in each semifinal (6 boats total) advanced to the "A" final to compete for medals and 4th through 6th place; the bottom three boats in each semifinal were sent to the "B" final for 7th through 12th.[2]

All races were over a 2000 metre course, unlike previous Games in which women used a 1000 metre course.
