Eastern dominance in rowing
NZPA Montreal ! There will be a liberal ! sprinkling of non-Eastern (European nations in Sunday (morning’s finals following the repechages yesterday on the second day of the m- ( augural Olympic women’s ■rowing regatta.
The small number of crews outside the Eastern European bloc have not been outclassed as might have [been expected and Western 'nations will have at least two crews in every final, except the quadruple sculls, where the Danish four are the only Western finalists. Rowing giants East Germany and the Soviet Union had little trouble reaching all six finals, while Bulgaria are close on their heels with five.
I But the United States and Canada, with four and three finalists respectively, kept the non-European flag flying and the Americans are (surely in the hunt for medals after convincing repechage wins by their (eight and attractive cing'e Isculler, Joan Lind.
