- Lightweight_rowing abstract "Lightweight rowing (abbreviated Lwt or Lt) is a category of rowing where limits are placed on the maximum weight of competitors. The rationale is that larger, taller people have a small but significant physical advantage and tend to dominate the sport. A lightweight category gives average sized individuals the ability to compete against their peers, but rowers who are tall and thin generally have an advantage over those who are shorter but broader. According to the International Rowing Federation (FISA), this weight category was introduced "to encourage more universality in the sport especially among nations with less statuesque people".Lightweight rowing is often denigrated as being "lesser" than its heavyweight counterpart, but is in reality a fairly different sport, relying much more on ideal body composition and technique than raw strength.At international level for crew boats the limits are:Men: Crew average 70 kg (154.3 lb / 11 st 0.3 lb) - no rower over 72.5 kg (159.8 lb / 11 st 5.8 lb)Women: Crew average 57 kg (125.6 lb / 8 st 8 lb) - no one over 59 kg (130.0 lb / 9 st 4 lb)For single sculls the limits are 72.5 kg and 59 kg for men and women respectively.".
