Olympic rowing regatta has been delayed again until further notice due to a thunderstorm at the Shunyi Rowing-Canoeing Park on Thursday.

Thursday is the sixth day of the Olympic rowing regatta. Competition is slated to start at 2:10 PM.

This is the second time that rain interrupts the rowing competition.

On last Sunday (August 10), after the men's quadruple sculls heats were finished, it began to rain, which disrupted the competition. There were two events of women's and men's eight left according to the schedule of Sunday.
