Rowing at the 1936 Summer Olympics featured seven events. The competitions were held from 11 to 14 August on a regatta course at Grünau on the Langer See.[1]

The competition was dominated by the hosts, Germany, who medaled in every event and took five of the seven gold medals. The final race, men's eights, was won by a working-class United States team from the University of Washington who, in what had become their trademark, started slow and outsprinted the competition to an exceedingly close finish, with only one second separating the top three finishers at the end of a six-and-a-half minute race.[2][3] This event is chronicled in The Boys in the Boat written by Daniel James Brown.
