Rowing returns to the Games
Not since 1864, when a regatta was held at the Quarry in Shrewsbury, has a rowing event been included in the Games. (See the image below for a record of that event.) Then it was part of the Shropshire (rather than Wenlock) Olympian Games. This year, thanks to Ironbridge Rowing Club, the Wenlock Olympian Games includes a rowing event.
