Olympic rowing called off because of strong wind on lagoon (Yahoo Sports)

Olympic rowers reluctantly got a day off Sunday when strong winds whipped up treacherous waves. The regatta was called off after a two-hour delay at the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, and officials said there would be no racing until Monday. ”It’s an outdoor sport so you really can’t get too upset about it,” said Vincent Breet of South Africa’s men’s four.
