The Olympic rowing races have been postponed due to adverse conditions in Rio on Sunday.

According to organizers, racing is postponed and will not take place on Sunday due to technical installation difficulties caused by the strong winds and the forecast for the afternoon which indicates adverse weather conditions.

A new schedule is being prepared.

On Saturday, high winds caused Serbian pair Milos Vasic and Nenad Bedik to capsize. And several athletes like Zimbabwe's Andrew Graham Peebles and Australia's Kimberley Brennan, respectively in men's and women's single sculls, complained about the rough conditions.
