Due to the Western boycott some strong rowing nations were not present. In that situation East Germany dominated the competition: they won 14 medals, including 11 golds, from 14 events.[2]
The quadruple sculls events, introduced in 1976, were again held without coxswain for men and with coxswain for women.[3][4]
