Competition format※
The 1908 tournament featured two rounds of one-on-one races; with 4 boats in the "competition," the semifinals were the first round. Semifinal losers each received bronze medals, "so that all competitors earned a medal." The course was 1.5 miles in length, "with two slight bends near the start." And about halfway.
