Remo

Rowing events at the Summer Games are amazing to watch! Rowers push and pull oars in sync, cutting cleanly through the water. Elementary Spanish readers will learn about races and boats and discover the power and endurance it takes to win gold in this sport's sculling and sweep events. Action photos and North American Spanish translated text introduce rowing's Olympic history, equipment, and individual or team modes of play. A biographical story spotlights five-time gold medalist Steven Redgrave, an English rower who is considered the best rower of all time.
