Commonwealth Rowing Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commonwealth Rowing Championships are held in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games since rowing is no longer included in the Commonwealth Games programme.
In 1994 and 1999 the Commonwealth Rowing Association organised a Commonwealth Rowing Regatta at Fanshawe Lake, London, Ontario, Canada.
In August 2002 the first Commonwealth Rowing Championships were held in Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham, England.
[edit] 2002 Participating Nations and Medal Count
This is the full table of the medal count of the Commonwealth Rowing Championships. These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.
