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 2, French, - rameur
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
rameur, rameuse : Un générique pour «rameur, rameuse de pointe, en pointe» (en anglais «oarsman, oarswoman»), et «rameur, rameuse de couple, en couple» (en anglais «sculler»). 2, record 2, French, - rameur
