Olympic rowing races have been postponed again due to adverse conditions on Wednesday.

According to organizers, due to weather conditions, the FISA Executive Committee has postponed the racing. No racing will take place today. A new updated schedule will be announced at the Team Managers Meeting at 10:00 am.
