Synopsis

On this page there are two images of a paralympic athlete in an adaptive boat race: the top image shows the rower and boat seen from the front and in the bottom image she is seen from the side. The singles races are open to rowers with only arm and shoulder movement. The boat has a fixed seat and stabilising pontoons attached to the riggers. The seat in the boat has a high back and the rower is strapped in around their torso and legs. For clarity, the seat and the straps have not been shown. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. >Rower and boat seen from the front (top) - The boat and rower are seen from the front with the rower's head in the top centre of the image. Down from her head are her shoulders, with her arms at the left and right, bent at the elbows going down to her hands holding the ends of the two oars. The oars stretch across the page to the left and right. The rower's body is between her arms. She is seated in the boat, which has stabilising outriggers extending to the left and right. The boat is floating on the wavy surface of the water at the bottom of the image.Rower and boat seen from the side (bottom) - Here, the boat and rower are seen from the side. In the centre of the image, the rower's head is in profile facing left. Only one of her eyes and arms can be found. From her head, her arm goes down diagonally to the left. She is holding the end of an oar, which extends right towards the stern (back) of the boat. Her body is to the right of her arm. Down the page from her arm is a rowlock, which supports the oar, and a stabilising pontoon. The front (bow) of the boat is on the left of the page. The boat is floating on the wavy surface of the water at the bottom of the image.
