Race distances
All races are raced over a 1000 m[1] whereas the Olympics have had various distance but the current length is 2000 m for all races.
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.
