Il n’ y a pas, à proprement parler, de terme français équivalent au «oarsman», «celui qui excelle à ramer». Dans les épreuves d’aviron, il y a deux types d’embarcation : l'«aviron simple» ou «aviron de pointe»(une seule rame par rameur) ;l'«aviron double» ou «aviron de couple»(deux rames par rameur). Certaines sources voudraient que les athlètes de ce sport soient des «canotier(s), canotières(s) »plutôt que des «rameur(s), rameuse(s) ». 2, record 1, French, - rameur

The draw sideslip. The draw is used to sideslip toward the paddle stroke side. Instead of reaching forward and drawing in at the bow or reaching back and drawing in at the stern, which would pivot the canoe, you reach out at a 90-degree angle and draw straight toward the body. Repeat the stroke as often as desired, using an above-the-water or under-the-water recovery. 1, record 2, English, - draw%20sideslip
