The men's eight event was part of the rowing programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The competition, the sixth appearance of the event, was held from 13 to 17 July 1924 on the river Seine. Ten teams (90 competitors), each from a different nation, competed.[1] The event was won by the United States, the nation's second consecutive and fourth overall victory in the event. Canada took silver, its first medal in the men's eight since 1908. Italy, making its debut in the event, took bronze.

Among the American rowers was Benjamin Spock, who later became more known for his work in pediatrics and politics.

Background

This was the sixth appearance of the event. Rowing had been on the programme in 1896 but was cancelled due to bad weather. The men's eight has been held every time that rowing has been contested, beginning in 1900.[2]

Great Britain and the United States were the dominant nations in the event, with the nations winning all five prior Olympic men's eight competitions between them. The United States held a 3–2 edge and the reigning crown. For the first time, Great Britain's top entry was not the Leander Club; instead, the Thames Rowing Club (winners of the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley in 1923) was the British boat in 1924. The Americans were represented by a crew from Yale University. Other contenders included the 1923 European Rowing Championships winners from Italy.[2]

Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Switzerland entered but withdrew before competition.[2]

Argentina, Australia, Italy, and Spain each made their debut in the event (though Australian rowers had appeared as part of the Australasia team in 1912). Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, and the United States each made their fourth appearance, tied for most among nations to that point.

Competition format

The "eight" event featured nine-person boats, with eight rowers and a coxswain. It was a sweep rowing event, with the rowers each having one oar (and thus each rowing on one side). The course used the 2000 metres distance that became the Olympic standard in 1912.[3]

For the first time since 1900, there were more than 2 boats per heat. The tournament also introduced the repechage, allowing boats that did not win a race to have another opportunity to advance. The 1924 competition featured two main rounds (semifinals and a final) and one repechage.

  • Semifinals: Three heats of 3 or 4 boats each. The top boat in each heat (3 boats total) advanced directly to the final; the last place boat (3 boats) was eliminated; the middle boats (2nd place in the heats of 3, 2nd and 3rd places in the heat of 4) went to the repechage.
  • Repechage: One heat of 4 boats. The winner advanced to the final; the other 3 boats were eliminated.
  • Final: One heat of 4 boats. Determined the medals and 4th place.
