Rowing
at the 2004 Summer Olympics
took place at the Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre
and featured 550 competitors taking part in 14 events.
The medals were split among 22 countries, Romania
topping the medal table, their women winning 3 golds, with the traditionally strong Germany
, Great Britain
and Australia
picking up four medals in total.
Romania's Elisabeta Lipă
won her fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal and fifth overall. Lipă, who was part of Romania's women's eight
, won her first in Los Angeles in 1984 followed by gold medals in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004, a record span of 20 years between her first and last gold medal. It was also her eighth overall, which is more than any other rower, having won a silver and a bronze in 1988 and an additional silver in 1992. In winning her medal at age 39, Lipă became the oldest rower to win a gold medal and the oldest athlete in an endurance sport to win a gold medal.
Matthew Pinsent

, Thomas Herschmiller
, Jake Wetzel
and Barney Williams
. It was a dramatic stretch run with the lead literally changing hands with each stroke. (In rowing, the boat will surge depending on where the rowers are during the stroke. Pinsent would later say that he thought they had won because they were in the best part of the stroke when they crossed the line). Great Britain won with a time of 6:06.98, just 8/100ths of a second faster than the Canadians. Pinsent later wept at the medal ceremony.
Matching Lipă's and Pinsent's feat of four consecutive gold medals was German sculler Kathrin Boron
in the women's quad
. She had won the doubles event in Barcelona 1992 and Sydney 2000 and the quad in Atlanta 1996.
Australian James Tomkins, competing in his fifth games at the age of 39, won his third gold medal, and fourth medal overall, teaming with his longtime partner Drew Ginn
in the men's pair
. Tomkins and Ginn had been part of the straight four that won the gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics
, and they had won the 1999 World Championship in the pair, but Ginn had missed the 2000 Sydney Olympics
with a severe back injury, and Tompkins had finished third with a new partner Matthew Long
in the pair. Tomkins is the oldest male rower to win an Olympic gold medal.
