There was a desire by the IOC's program commission to reduce the number of competitors and a number of recommendations were put to the IOC's executive board on 23 February 1973, which were all accepted. Rowing was the only sport where the number of competitors was increased, and women were admitted for the first time in Olympic history.
The
quadruple sculls
events were introduced at this Olympics, without
coxswain
for men and with coxswain for women.
