"Initial lanes will be assigned via a computer generated random draw."

Who runs the computer? Because you can keep generating random draws until you get the draw you want. They should make it public like the Town Hall drawing at Henley. Make for a good watch party.

The first day won't be slack water. It will be a ebb tide all afternoon

World Rowing under the leadership of Jean-Christophe Rolland has made concession after concession in an attempt to please the IOC. 1500m. Tidal. No test event. It’s ridiculous, and now the Brisbane course is going to infested with crocodiles and have a current. Two Olympics in a rowing will be compromised, and it’s going to be hard to part that genie back in the bottle.

As with many things in life, you don't know you're in the good times until they're gone. And boy are the good times for Olympic rowing long gone.

The cynic would almost believe this is being done on purpose to make coastal rowing look more appealing.
