At the trials, rowers from 10 different categories (eight Olympic, two Paralympic) will compete, with winning crews in the men’s pair, women’s pair and women’s single sculls clinching spots at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Other boats — including men’s single sculls, men’s double sculls, lightweight men’s double sculls, men’s quadruple sculls and women’s quadruple sculls — can qualify for the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in May with a top-two finish.
Racing takes place along a 2,000-meter, buoyed course in Sarasota.
The buildup to the Paris Games begins a redemption path for U.S. rowing. At the 2020 Tokyo Games, not a single U.S. crew won a medal, marking the first time in Olympic history that no American earned a medal at the Olympics, dating back to the 1900 Paris Olympics.
